Description

Rotigotine is an agonist at all 5 dopamine receptor subtypes (D1-D5) but binds to the D3 receptor with the highest affinity. It is also an antagonist at α-2-adrenergic receptors and an agonist at the 5HT1A receptors. Rotigotine also inhibits dopamine uptake and prolactin secretion. It is FDA approved for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, restless legs syndrome. Dopamine antagonists, such as antipsychotics or metoclopramide, may diminish the effectiveness of Rotigotine. Common adverse reactions include nausea, vomiting, somnolence, application site reactions, dizziness, anorexia, hyperhidrosis, insomnia and dyskinesia.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Parkinson’s disease: Initially, 2 mg/24 hours for early-stage disease or 4 mg/24 hours for advanced-stage disease. The dose may be increased as needed by 2 mg/24 hours at weekly intervals, up to 6 mg/24 hours for earlystage disease and up to 8 mg/24 hours for advanced-stage disease. Restless Legs Syndrome: Initially, 1 mg/24 hours, increased as needed by 1 mg/24 hours at weekly intervals, up to 3 mg/24 hours.
Route of Administration: Transdermal
In Vitro Use Guide
The binding of [3H]N-0437 (specific activity 80.6 Ci/mmol) to calf caudate membranes is described. It was found that [3H]N-0437 binds with a high affinity (KD = 0.17 nM) and a low proportion of non-specific binding.
