As one of the most important dopamine-replacement therapies for PD, L-DOPA is commonly given with carbidopa to improve bioavailability and avoid early conversion into dopamine before penetration into the brain (Gandhi and Saadabadi, 2025)

Their beneficial mechanisms can include the attenuation of neuroinflammation [e.g., valproate via histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition in microglia, downregulating interleukin-1 beta (IL-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)] or the mitigation of glutamatergic excitotoxicity coupled with enhancement of neurotrophic factor expression (e.g., lamotrigine), thereby conferring antidepressant-like potential (Mula and Sander, 2007
