It is unclear if dopamine is safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. [4] At low doses dopamine mainly triggers dopamine receptors and β1-adrenergic receptors while at high doses it works via α-adrenergic receptors. [4] Dopamine was first synthesized in a laboratory in 1910 by George Barger and James Ewens in England. [8]
A dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) is a class of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor of the monoamine neurotransmitter dopamine by blocking the action of the dopamine transporter (DAT). Reuptake inhibition is achieved when extracellular dopamine not absorbed by the postsynaptic neuron is blocked from re-entering the presynaptic neuron.
It is a dopamine agonist and works by triggering dopamine D 2 receptors. [4] It was approved for medical use in the United States in 1997. [4] It is available as a generic medication. [3] In 2022, it was the 163rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 3 million prescriptions. [6] [7]
[citation needed] Although cabergoline is commonly described principally as a D 2 receptor agonist, it also possesses significant affinity for the dopamine D 3, and D 4, serotonin 5-HT 1A, 5-HT 2A, 5-HT 2B, and 5-HT 2C, and α 2-adrenergic receptors, as well as moderate/low affinity for the dopamine D 1, serotonin 5-HT 7, and α 1-adrenergic ...

The dopamine receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptors superfamily with seven transmembrane domains. Dopamine receptors have five subtypes, D 1 through D 5, the subtypes can be divided into two subclasses due to their mechanism of action on adenylate cyclase enzyme, D 1-like receptors (D 1 and D 5) and D 2-like receptors (D 2, D ...
Levodopa crosses the protective blood–brain barrier, whereas dopamine itself cannot. [3] [4] Thus, levodopa is used to increase dopamine concentrations in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Parkinsonism, dopamine-responsive dystonia and Parkinson-plus syndrome. The therapeutic efficacy is different for different kinds of symptoms.
