Selective D-1 dopamine receptor agonist treatment of parkinson's disease

Abstract: Preclinical evidence suggests that the D-1 dopamine receptor contributes to the generation of behaviors used as models for human extrapyramidal disorders. To evaluate the potential of D-1 receptor stimulation in neurologic disease, SKF 38393, a selective D-1 dopamine receptor agonist, was administered to seven patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease in a double-blind, placebo controlled study. SKF 38393 was found to be rapidly absorbed when administered orally, and to occur in micromolar concentrations in… Show more

“…However, since its behavioural effects were distinct from both those of SCH 23390 and ractopride in not inducing catalepsy, such explanations appear less likely. Certainly in man SKF 38393 does not produce the antiparkinsonian activity that its D-1 agonist effect in rodents would suggest (Braun et al 1987). The uncertainty over SKF 38393 can only be resolved when further selective D-1 agonists become available.…”

“…Under oral administration, both the D1/D5 agonist SKF 38393 and antagonist SKF 83566 are rapidly absorbed and penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Indeed, the agonist is used clinically for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and nicotine craving (Braun et al 1987;Nakagome et al 2011).…”

“…However, it is the primate model which appears predictive of drug action in man since SKF 38393 did not improve motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease when administered alone or in conjunction with L-dopa (Braun et al 1987).…”
