Propylnorapomorphine is a potent and selective D2 receptor agonist. Propylnorapomorphine is used as a tool compound to label dopamine receptors in rodent brain, and elicits dopaminergic behavioural effects. It stimulates motor activity, induces stereotypic behaviour and sexual stimulation. Propylnorapomorphine was investigated in clinical trial against Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia

Conditions:

Tegaserod (3‐(5‐methoxy‐1H‐indol‐3ylmethylene)‐N‐pentyl‐carbazimidamide), an aminoguanidine indole derivative of serotonin, is a selective partial agonist highly selective for 5‐HT4 receptor with an affinity constant in the nanomolar range. Tegaserod, by acting as an agonist at neuronal 5-HT4 receptors, triggers the release of further neurotransmitters such as calcitonin gene-related peptide from sensory neurons. The activation of 5-HT4 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract stimulates the peristaltic reflex and intestinal secretion, as well as inhibits visceral sensitivity. In vivo studies showed that tegaserod enhanced basal motor activity and normalized impaired motility throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Zelnorm® (tegaserod maleate) is indicated for the short-term treatment of women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose primary bowel symptom is constipation. In addition Zelnorm® is indicated for the treatment of patients less than 65 years of age with chronic idiopathic constipation.

Conditions:

Guanadrel is a postganglionic adrenergic blocking agent. Uptake of guanadrel and storage in sympathetic neurons occurs via the norepinephrine pump or transporter. Guanadrel slowly displaces norepinephrine from its storage in nerve endings and thereby blocks the release of norepinephrine normally produced by nerve stimulation. The reduction in neurotransmitter release in response to sympathetic nerve stimulation, as a result of catecholamine depletion, leads to reduced arteriolar vasoconstriction, especially the reflex increase in sympathetic tone that occurs with a change in position. Guanadrel is used to treat and control hypertension.

Ergonovine (also known as ergometrine) is the active water soluble component of ergot of rye. Ergonovine is being used as a maleate salt to prevent or treate postpartum haemorrhage and postabortion haemorrhage. Ergonovine stimulates alpha-adrenergic and serotonin receptors, thus activating contractions of uterine and vascular smooth muscle. Ergonovine may have depressant effect on CNS system as it binds to dopamine receptors.

Conditions:

Nalorphine has a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist properties. Nalorphine inhibits the cholinesterases of mouse brain, bovine erythrocytes and horse serum. It acts on mu-, k- and sigma-opioid receptors. Nalorfin by virtue of the agonistic effect has an analgesic effect but to a much lesser extent than morphine. Initially, before the appearance of a "pure" morphine-naloxone antagonist, nalorphine was used as an antidote for severe respiratory depression and other body function disorders caused by acute poisoning in case of an overdose of morphine, promedol, fentanyl or other narcotic analgesics, or with increased sensitivity to them. At present, nalorphine is practically not used for this purpose. It was replaced by naloxone. Large doses of nalorphine can cause nausea, cramps, drowsiness, headache, mental stimulation.

Dihydroergocristine is an ergot alkaloid that has an partial agonist activity on dopaminergic and alpha-adrenergic receptors and antagonist activity on serotonin receptors. The drug was approved by FDA in combination with other alkaloids (dihydroergocornine, dihydro-alpha-ergocryptine and dihydro-beta-ergocryptine mesylate salts) under the name Hydergine for the treatment of dimentia and cerebrovascular insufficiency.
