Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, with current treatments offering only temporary symptomatic relief. There is an urgent need for the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Abnormal increases in LRRK2 kinase activity have been identified in both sporadic and familial PD patients, suggesting that inhibiting LRRK2 kinase activity presents a promising avenue for the pursuit of effective PD treatment strategies. In this Viewpoint, we discuss the exciting new insights regarding the development of LRRK2 kinase inhibitors as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
