A synthetic narcotic compound first discovered in the late 1970s, MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) has generated much interest as an etiologic agent in PD. MPTP, first chemically synthesized as an opiate for illicit drug use in California, leads to acute, sudden onset of parkinsonian symptoms and selective degeneration of the substantia nigra seen on autopsy.
