Dopamine agonists provide an effective means of treating early, middle, and late stages of Parkinson's disease. This article outlines the advantages and disadvantages of dopamine agonists as compared with levodopa therapy. The features and costs of the four Food and Drug Administration-approved agonists (bromocriptine, pergolide, pramipexole, and ...

Neuroprotection by dopamine agonists
Journal of neural transmission. Supplementum, 1994Research on Parkinson's disease has led to new hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and to the development of neuroprotective agents. Recent findings of impaired mitochondrial function, altered iron metabolism and increased lipid peroxidation in the substantia nigra of parkinsonian patients emphasize the significance of oxidative ...

Journal of Neural Transmission, 2019
The pioneering work of Arvid Carlsson has laid the foundation for a number of innovative therapies for severe central nervous system (CNS) diseases. He was awarded the Nobel Price for the discovery of the crucial role of dopamine (DA) as a neurotransmitter in the CNS, thereby forming the basis for the symptomatic therapy of Parkinson's disease (PD ...

Medical Clinics of North America, 1999
Dopamine agonists have been used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) since the mid 1970s. With the approval of two new agents in 1997, the number available in the United States is up to four; bromocriptine, pergolide, pramipexole, ropinirole.

Neuroprotection and Dopamine Agonists
2004Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Accumulating evidence indicates that apoptosis contributes to the cell death in Parkinson’s disease patients’ brain.

Neuroprotection and dopamine agonists
Neurology, 2002Several factors are known to be capable of inducing relatively selective dopaminergic cell death in the substantia nigra and inducing the clinical features that characterize Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuronal toxins such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) can induce parkinsonism in human and animal models, and rotenone, another ...

Dopamine Agonists in the Treatment of Schizophrenia
1986Publisher Summary Behavioral, neurochemical, ligand binding, and single cell unit recording studies suggest the existence of two distinct classes of dopamine (DA) receptors: autoreceptors, which are present on the membranes of dopamine neurons, and postsynaptic receptors located on the neurons with which dopamine neurons synapse.

Neurology, 2002
Although all dopaminergic drugs are effective in reducing tremor, no single drug has been shown to be clearly superior in the treatment of tremor. Levodopa produces a mean improvement of 30 to 50% in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) subtest for rest tremor. Comparable improvement is achieved with the dopamine agonists.

Dopamine agonists in Parkinson’s disease
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2003Levodopa (LD), the immediate precursor of dopamine, is the most effective agent in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). While quite successful in treating the primary motor deficits of PD, most patients eventually develop LD-related motor fluctuation, dyskinesias and other adverse effects associated with chronic LD therapy.
