Growing evidence has highlighted that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors (ACEi)/AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs) may influence the complex interplay between dopamine and the renin-angiotensin system in the nigrostriatal pathway, thus affecting the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease (PD). In the present study, we analyzed whether the use of this class of medication was associated with a reduced occurrence of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, using electronically-stored information of idiopathic PD patients enrolled at Novara University Hospital “Maggiore della Carità”. We conducted a retrospective case-control study identifying PD patients with dyskinesias (PwD; n = 47) as cases. For each PwD we selected a non-dyskinetic control (NoD), nearly perfectly matched according to sex, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part Ⅲ score, and duration of antiparkinsonian treatment. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate whether dyskinesias were associated with ACEi/ARBs use. Ninety-four PD patients were included, aged 72.18 ± 9 years, with an average disease duration of 10.20 ± 4.8 years and 9.04 ± 4.9 years of antiparkinsonian treatment. The mean UPDRS part Ⅲ score was 18.87 ± 7.6 and the median HY stage was 2. In the NoD group, 25 (53.2％) were users and 22 (46.8％) non-users of ACEi/ARBs. Conversely, in the PwD group, 11 (23.4％) were users and 36 non-users (76.6％) of this drug class (Pearson chi-square = 8.824, P = 0.003). Concerning general medication, there were no other statistically significant differences between groups. After controlling for tremor dominant phenotype, levodopa equivalent daily dose, HY 3-4, and disease duration, ACEi/ARBs use was a significant predictor of a lower occurrence of dyskinesia (OR = 0.226, 95％ CI: 0.080–0.636, P = 0.005). Therefore, our study suggests that ACEi/ARBs may reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesia occurrence and, thanks to good tolerability and easy management, represent a feasible choice when dealing with the treatment of hypertension in PD patients. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Novara University Hospital “Maggiore della Carità” (CE 65/16) on July 27, 2016.
