This study is critical because it was this same group of researchers from the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Neuroscience Institute that put the temporary kibosh on eltoprazine in dyskinesia back in 2016 when they said that when just paired with levedopa, both drugs counteracted each other.
Neuroinflammation and L-dopa-induced abnormal involuntary movements
in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rat model of Parkinson’s disease are
counteracted by combined administration of a 5-HT1A/1B receptor agonist
and A2A receptor antagonist
Pinna, A., Costa, G., Serra, M., Contu, L., & Morelli, M. (2021). Neuroinflammation and L-dopa-induced abnormal involuntary movements in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rat model of Parkinson’s disease are counteracted by combined administration of a 5-HT1A/1B receptor agonist and A2A receptor antagonist.

In conclusion, the present findings show that a challenge with L-dopa
induces a reduced neuroinflammatory response in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats
pretreated with an association of A2A antagonists and 5-HT1A/1B agonists, suggesting that this drug association may be a promising therapeutic strategy for preventing both neuroinflammation and dyskinesia.
