Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8529066

Docarpamine (marketed under the tradename Tanadopa) is a dopamine prodrug developed in Japan for the treatment of chronic heart failure. The drug does not cross the blood-brain barrier and shows no effect on CNS activity. It is supposed that the drug exerts its action by activating dopamine receptor D1.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Docarpamine itself does not cross the blood-brain barrier and shows no effect on CNS even at high dose. However, its active metabolite, dopamine, functions as a neurotransmitter in brain.
