Application
Pramipexole dihydrochloride has been used as D2 receptor agonist in dopamine (DA)-depleted striatum slices.
Pramipexole dihydrochloride has been used as a D2-like DR (dopaminergic receptor) agonist in study associated with Parkinson′s disease. It has also been used as a D2/D3 receptor agonist to study risky decision-making in rats.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate is a dopamine agonist active at D3 and D2 receptor subtypes.
Pramipexole elicits neuroprotective role and may help in treating depression. It also has a potential to modulate limb movement and may be effective in treating restless legs syndrome.
Pramipexole is a dopamine agonist active at D3 and D2 receptor subtypes. Pramipexole has been found to have neuroprotective effects independent of its dopamine receptor agonism. It reduces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inhibits the activation of apoptotic pathways.
Pramipexole is a therapeutic agent for Parkinson′s disease and restless leg syndrome. It also exhibits antidepressant responses in patients suffering from MDD (major depressive disorder) and bipolar depression.

General description
Pramipexole belongs to non-ergoline class and is derived from benzothiazole. It has strong affinity for D2 and D3 receptors (dopamine receptors) compared to other ergoline-derived drugs. However, it does not associate with non-dopamine receptors, for instance adrenergic and serotonin receptors.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta, α-synuclein (α-syn)-rich intraneuronal inclusions (Lewy bodies), and microglial activation. Emerging evidence suggests that CD4+ T lymphocytes contribute to neuroinflammation in PD. Since the mainstay of

Antidepressants that act on two or more amine neurotransmitters may confer higher remission rates when first-line agents affecting a single neurotransmitter have failed. Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). This pilot study

Treatment with dopaminergic agonists such as pramipexole (PPX) contributes to the development of impulse control disorders (ICDs) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). As such, animal models of abnormal impulse control in PD are needed to better study the pathophysiology

Floating gastro-retentive delivery systems can prolong the gastric residence providing sustained drug release. In this study, we report on self-inflating effervescence-based electrospun nanofiber membranes embedding polyethylene oxide/sodium bicarbonate cast films. In this system, sodium bicarbonate results in an effervescence effect

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative illness presenting motor and non-motor symptoms due to the loss of dopaminergic terminals in basal ganglia, most importantly, the striatum. L-DOPA relieves many motor signs. Unfortunately, in the long term, L-DOPA use causes motor
