Reserpine is an antihypertensive drug which also has been used to treat schizophrenia.
In the CNS, reserpine impairs the storage of dopamine and norepinephrine in the presynaptic terminal and thus causes the enzymatic breakdown of these neurotransmitters. Parkinson's disease is marked by a loss of control over motor functions. It consists of weakness, tremors, poor balance, and difficulty in initiating movements. Flip and flop are two forms of a non-NMDA receptor known as an AMPA receptor. Flop-type AMPA receptors allow a larger response to the neurotransmitter glutamate.
