This is roughly what Molly used to poison Riviera (a meperidine addict) in Neuromancer. Gibson mentions N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) which is mentioned (as 1-methyl...) in the article, as well as the whole substantia nigra thing. I just re-read it last week and was wondering if that drug was a real thing or not.
