Pramipexole is a highly active non-ergot D 2-like receptor agonist with a higher binding affinity to D 3 receptors rather than D 2 or D 4 receptors. The mechanism of action of pramipexole is mostly unknown, it is thought to be involved in the activation of dopamine receptors in the area of the brain where the striatum and the substantia nigra ...
Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling.
These agents stimulate dopamine receptors. In doing so, they alleviate the symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease . Wikimedia Commons has media related to Dopamine agonists .
Apomorphine, sold under the brand name Apokyn among others, is a type of aporphine having activity as a non-selective dopamine agonist which activates both D 2-like and, to a much lesser extent, D 1-like receptors. [2] It also acts as an antagonist of 5-HT 2 and α-adrenergic receptors with high affinity.
Side effects of levodopa include nausea, the wearing-off phenomenon, dopamine dysregulation syndrome, and levodopa-induced dyskinesia, among others. [3] The drug is a centrally permeable monoamine precursor and prodrug of dopamine and hence acts as a dopamine receptor agonist. [3] Chemically, levodopa is an amino acid, a phenethylamine, and a ...
Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist. It works to reduce the amount of prolactin in the body by telling dopamine receptors to cut back, which can help to improve these symptoms. It’s also sometimes ...
This is a list of adrenergic drugs. These are pharmaceutical drugs , naturally occurring compounds and other chemicals that influence the function of the neurotransmitter epinephrine (adrenaline). Receptor ligands
Lisuride is a ligand of dopamine, serotonin, and adrenergic receptors as well as the histamine H 1 receptor. [4] It has sub-nanomolar affinity for the dopamine D 2, and D 3 receptors, serotonin 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 1D receptors, and α 2A-, α 2B-, and α 2C-adrenergic receptors, and low-nanomolar affinity for the dopamine D 1, D 4, and D 5 receptors, serotonin 5-HT 2A, 5-HT 2B, and 5-HT 2C ...
