Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. [1] Dopamine receptors are therefore common drug targets. Dopamine receptors activate different effectors through not only G-protein coupling, but also signaling through different protein (dopamine receptor-interacting ...
Amantadine has dopaminergic effects through uncertain mechanisms of action. [24] [25] It is structurally related to other adamantanes like bromantane and rimantadine, which also have dopaminergic actions. [26] Bromantane can upregulate tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and thereby increase dopamine production and this might be involved in its ...
Other dopaminergic drugs that have been used or suggested in the treatment of disorders of diminished motivation include rasagiline (a selective monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitor; but see more below), tolcapone (a centrally-acting catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor), and amantadine (an indirectly acting dopaminergic agent that ...
Central dopaminergic agonist properties of semisynthetic ergoline derivatives lergotrile, pergolide, bromocriptine and lisuride have been established. Some studies suggest that ergot alkaloids have the properties of mixed agonist-antagonist with regards to certain presynaptic and postsynaptic receptors.
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 .
This results in increased extracellular concentrations of dopamine and increase in dopaminergic neurotransmission. [ 1 ] DRIs are used in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy for their psychostimulant effects, and in the treatment of obesity and binge eating disorder for their appetite suppressant effects.
