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 ...

Dopamine agonist‐responsive depression [PDF]
Psychogeriatrics, 2013 AbstractDopaminergic dysfunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of treatment‐resistant depression. In this review, we describe the putative role of dopamine in depression, summarize the evidence for the efficacy of dopamine receptor agonists in the treatment of treatment‐resistant depression, and discuss the underlying mechanisms by which these ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dopamine agonists for cocaine dependence
2003Cocaine is a major drug of abuse. Cocaine dependence is a common and serious condition, which has become nowadays a substantial public health problem. There is a wide and well documented range of consequences associated to chronic use of this drug, such as medical, psychological and social problems, including the spread of infectious diseases (e.g ...

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 Parkinson's disease
Neurology, 1995The main pathologic hallmark of Parkinson's disease is a degeneration of the dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra, pars compacta and--to a lesser extent--in the ventral tegmental area. Striatal dopamine concentrations are significantly reduced before clinical symptoms become apparent.

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.
