This is a list of dopaminergic drugs. These are pharmaceutical drugs , naturally occurring compounds and other chemicals that influence the function of the neurotransmitter dopamine . Dopamine receptor ligands
These drugs show greater magnitudes of impact on dopamine levels than do dopamine reuptake inhibitors like methylphenidate. [ 62 ] [ 63 ] In addition, whereas dopamine reuptake inhibitors show a clear dose–effect ceiling in their effects on dopamine levels, dopamine releasing agents do not and have been found to maximally increase dopamine ...
RLS is identified by the strong urge to move and is a dopamine-dependent disorder. RLS symptoms decrease with the use of drugs that stimulate dopamine receptors and increase dopamine levels, such as dopamine agonists. [14]
In the opposite direction, drugs that increase dopamine release, such as cocaine or amphetamine, can produce heightened levels of activity, including, at the extreme, psychomotor agitation and stereotyped movements. [57] The second important effect of dopamine is as a "teaching" signal. [53]
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.
Drugs that increase dopamine in the brain, such as amphetamines, are known to cause psychosis, while drugs that treat psychosis do so by reducing dopamine activity.
A serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI), also known as a triple reuptake inhibitor (TRI), is a type of drug that acts as a combined reuptake inhibitor of the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Tavapadon, a drug being tested to treat early Parkinson's disease, has shown great promise in a Phase III trial by AbbVie, the pharmaceutical company announced this week.. Parkinson’s disease ...
