Although anticholinergics are not as effective as levodopa in the treatment of advancing cases of the disease, they may be useful as adjunctive therapies and for patients who no longer respond to levodopa.

Answer to Question 2
D
Feedback:
Imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase created by the Philadelphia chromosome abnormality in CML and some tumor cells present in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); blocking this enzyme inhibits proliferation and induces cell division. Alkylating agents alkylate cellular DNA; antimetabolites inhibit folic acid reductase, leading to inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and inhibition of cellular replication; and antineoplastic antibiotics bind to DNA and inhibit DNA synthesis in susceptible cells, causing cell death.
