Ropinirole hydrochloride(SKF101468 hydrochloride) a selective dopamine D2 receptor inhibitor with IC50 of 29 nM.Target: Dopamine D2 ReceptorRopinirole (50 mg/kg, i.p.) causes biphasic spontaneous locomotor activity in mice. Ropinirole (0.05-1.0 mg/kg SC) dose-dependently inhibits the dyskinesias induced by 2-di-n-propylamino-5,6-di-hydroxytetralin in mice. Ropirtirole, at doses of 1 and 10 μg, injected unilaterally directly into the striatum of the rat causes marked, contralateral (away from the side of injection) asymmetry and circling in mice. Ropinirole (0.05-1.0 mg/kg SC or 0.1 mg/kg PO) reverses all motor and behavioural deficits induced by MPTP in marmosets [1]. Ropinirole (2 mg/kg, i.p.) for 7 days increases GSH, catalase and SOD activities in the striatum and protected striatal dopaminergic neurons against 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in mice [2]. Ropinirole (0.2 mg/kg, i.p.) improves the use of previously akinetic forelimb and produced robust circling behavior in lesioned rats with striatal over-expression of both D2R and D3R compared to lesioned animals that received blank vector. The subtherapeutic dose of ropinirole generates only modest motor effects in lesioned rats with sole over-expression of D2R or D3R [3]. Ropinirole (1-8 mg t.i.d.) is rapidly and completely absorbed with oral bioavailability of 55%, clearance of 780 mL/min, elimination half-life of 6 hours in healthy volunteer. Since the major route of elimination for Ropinirole is by the CYP enzyme system, mainly by CYP1A2 and also by CYP3A4, inhibition of the former and possibly the latter may reduce the agent's clearance and lead to drug accumulation [4].

rac-Rotigotine Hcl is a high potency and selectivity agonist for D-2 receptor with Ki of 0.69 nM. IC50 Value: 0.69 nM(Ki)Target: D-2 receptorin vitro: rac-Rotigotine showed high potency (Ki = 0.69 nM) and selectivity for D-2 receptors as compared to its potency and selectivity at various other neuronal receptors (Ki in nM): D-1 (678) dopamine, alpha 1-(534) and alpha 2-(195) adrenoceptor, S1-(6940) and S2-(5900) serotonin and muscarine (2660). Very low activity (Ki greater than 10(-5) M) was seen at the beta-adrenoceptor, A1-adenosine, GABAA and benzodiazepine receptors. Furthermore, rac-Rotigotine inhibited the calcium-dependent release of [3H]dopamine (IC50: 4 nM) and [3H]acetylcholine (IC50: 6.3 nM) from rabbit striatal slices in the nanomolar range. These effects of rac-Rotigotine were mediated through activation of D-2 dopamine autoreceptors and D-2 dopamine heteroreceptors, respectively.in vivo: Presynaptic dopaminergic activity in vivo was measurable as an inhibition of the locomotor activity of mice, and in this model rac-Rotigotine was more effective than apomorphine. Moreover, the effect of rac-Rotigotine could be antagonized by sulpiride but not by yohimbine. rac-Rotigotine was equipotent with apomorphine in inducing circling behaviour in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. rac-Rotigotine had almost no serotonergic activity in vivo.
CGP 25454A is a novel and selective presynaptic dopamine autoreceptor antagonist. In vitro: CGP 25454A increase the field-stimulated [3H]- and [14C]-overflow from rat striatal slices preloaded with [3H]dopamine and [14C]choline, indicating that CGP 25454A is able to enhance the release of both dopamine (DA) and acetylcholine (ACh). However, CGP 25454A is 12.9 times more potent in increasing, by 1/6 of the apparent maximal increase, the release of [3H]DA than that of [14C]ACh.In vivo: CGP 25454A increase [3H]spiperone binding to receptors of the D2 family in rat striatum by 90-110% (ED50: 13 mg/kg i.p.). As a similar increase in [3H]spiperone binding is found with a variety of agents which increase the synaptic concentration of endogenous DA, the effect of CGP 25454A most probably reflects an enhanced release of DA under in vivo conditions. At 30-100 mg/kg, CGP 25454A inhibit [3H]spiperone binding in the pituitary of the same animals as a result of a blockade of postsynaptic DA receptors.

IC50 value: 0.54 nM (Ki, for 5-HT2A receptor )Target: 5-HT2A receptorLumateperone also possesses affinity for the D1 receptor (Ki = 52 nM) and weak affinity for the α1A- and α1B-adrenergic receptors (Ki = 173 nM at α1) and D4 receptor. Lumateperone does not significantly bind to the 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, H1, or mACh receptors. Lumateperone shows a 60-fold difference in its affinities for the 5-HT2A and D2 receptors, which is far greater than that of most or all existing atypical antipsychotics, such as risperidone (12-fold), olanzapine (12.4-fold), and aripiprazole (0.18-fold).[1]in vivo: It is thought that this property may improve the effectiveness and reduce the side effect profile of Lumateperone relative to currently-available antipsychotics, a hypothesis which is supported by the observation of minimal catalepsy in mice treated with Lumateperone.[1]
