Prodipine (INN; developmental code name BY-101) is an experimental antiparkinsonian agent of the 4,4-diphenylpiperidine series related to budipine which was never marketed.[2][3][1] It was the predecessor of budipine and was similarly found to be effective in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[1] However, prodipine produced side effects including gastrointestinal adverse effects, nausea and vomiting, and hypotension.[1] Due to the nausea and vomiting with the oral form, it could only be tolerated with intravenous administration.[1] As a result, budipine, which had fewer side effects, was developed instead.[1]

Anticholinergics are widely used in addition to target drugs. A preliminary clinical trial (between 1974 and 1976) with prodipine in 161 patients with Parkinson's disease showed excellent to moderate improvement of resting tremor in 60 of the patients, while medication had to be discontinued in 98 patients owing to gastrointestinal side effects and hypotension. [...] Improvement of disability scores [with budipine] (Birkmayer and Neumayer 1972) gave evidence of a dopaminergic action although in some patients side effects were more frequent than with prodipine. [...] Budipine has less tendency to induce hyperactivity than its structural analogue prodipine and so with budipine anxious agitation states are a less frequent side effect. [...] Prodipin (1-isopropyl-4,4-diphenylpiperidine hydrochloride), the precursor of budipine, had already been found superior (unpublished study, Elena Klinik, Kassel, 1977) in this respect in a large number of patients. But the drug had one big disadvantage, it was tolerated on i.v. injection only. Oral doses caused nausea and vomiting and were thus not feasible. We now have high hopes for the product which was further developed, budipine.

Protective effect in the parkinsonian model with MPTP were displayed by prodipine (R=i-Pr) and budipine (R=t-Bu) in the 4,4-diphenylpiperidine series [110].
