Exifone is a novel substance of the benzophenone group that possesses potent scavenging properties. Initial findings demonstrate beneficial effects on age-related cognitive disorders. In this double-blind clinical trial versus placebo, the efficacy of 2 dosages (600 and 1200 mg/d) was evaluated with regard to Parkinson's disease (PD)-related cognitive disorders, for which there is increasing suspicion of a free-radicals origin. Despite disparities between the treatment groups as assessed by validated scales and subtests, and a considerable placebo effect on main parameters, both dose levels of exifone produced statistically significant improvement of the cognitive items most commonly impaired by PD: immediate recall, naming of objects presented, spatiotemporal orientation, and calculation. These properties suggest a new slot for exifone in the range of therapeutics available.
