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.
Non-ergoline dopamine receptor agonists have higher binding affinity to dopamine D 3-receptors than dopamine D 2-receptors. This binding affinity is related to D 2 and D 3 receptor homology, the homology between them has a high degree of sequence and is closest in their transmembrane domains, were they share around 75% of the amino acid.

This is a list of investigational attention deficit hyperactivity disorder drugs, or drugs that are currently under development for clinical use in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but are not yet approved. Chemical/generic names are listed first, with developmental code names, synonyms, and brand names in ...
The mechanisms of sympathomimetic drugs can be direct-acting (direct interaction between drug and receptor), such as α-adrenergic agonists, β-adrenergic agonists, and dopaminergic agonists; or indirect-acting (interaction not between drug and receptor), such as MAOIs, COMT inhibitors, release stimulants, and reuptake inhibitors that increase the levels of endogenous catecholamines.
Esketamine (Spravato) – non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, other actions [13] Gepirone (Exxua) – 5-HT 1A receptor partial agonist and α 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist; Opipramol (Insidon) — σ 1 receptor agonist, other actions; Tianeptine (Stablon, Coaxil, Tianeurax) – weak and atypical μ-opioid receptor agonist, other actions
Rotigotine, sold under the brand name Neupro among others, is a dopamine agonist of the non-ergoline class of medications indicated for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. [3] [4] It is formulated as a once-daily transdermal patch which provides a slow and constant supply of the drug over the course of 24 hours. [3]
Mephentermine is thought to act as a releasing agent of norepinephrine and dopamine. [4] It is described as an indirectly acting sympathomimetic, cardiac stimulant, adrenergic, vasoconstrictor, antihypotensive agent, and psychostimulant. [1] [2] [8] [4] Its sympathomimetic effects are mediated by indirect activation of α-and β-adrenergic ...
