Difference between Oxidopamine and Parkinson's disease

Oxidopamine vs. Parkinson's disease

Oxidopamine, also known as 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenethylamine, is a neurotoxic synthetic organic compound used by researchers to selectively destroy dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in the brain. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system.

Similarities between Oxidopamine and Parkinson's disease

Oxidopamine and Parkinson's disease have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Dopamine, Dopaminergic, MPTP, Parkinsonism, Rotenone, Substantia nigra.

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.

Dopaminergic

Dopaminergic means "related to dopamine" (literally, "working on dopamine"), dopamine being a common neurotransmitter.

MPTP

MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is a prodrug to the neurotoxin MPP+, which causes permanent symptoms of Parkinson's disease by destroying dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.

Parkinsonism

Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability.

Rotenone

Rotenone is an odorless, colorless, crystalline isoflavone used as a broad-spectrum insecticide, piscicide, and pesticide.

Substantia nigra

The substantia nigra (SN) is a basal ganglia structure located in the midbrain that plays an important role in reward and movement.

Oxidopamine and Parkinson's disease Comparison

Oxidopamine has 18 relations, while Parkinson's disease has 323. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 1.76% = 6 / (18 + 323).
