Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Targets:
Pramipexole is a nonergot dopamine agonist with high relative in vitro specificity and full intrinsic activity at the D2 subfamily of dopamine receptors, binding with higher affinity to D3 than to D2 or D4 receptor subtypes. The relevance of D3 receptor binding in Parkinson's disease is unknown. The precise mechanism of action of Pramipexole as a treatment for Parkinson's disease is unknown, although it is believed to be related to its ability to stimulate dopamine receptors in the striatum. This conclusion is supported by electrophysiologic studies in animals that have demonstrated that Pramipexole influences striatal neuronal firing rates via activation of dopamine receptors in the striatum and the substantia nigra, the site of neurons that send projections to the striatum.
Pramipexole is used for the treatment of signs and symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Ropinirole (INN; trade names Requip, Repreve, Ronirol, Adartrel) is a dopamine agonist of the non-ergoline class of medications, used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. Although the precise mechanism of action of ropinirole as a treatment for Parkinson's disease is unknown, it is believed to be related to its ability to stimulate dopamine receptors in the striatum. This conclusion is supported by electrophysiologic studies in animals that have demonstrated that ropinirole influences striatal neuronal firing rates via activation of dopamine receptors in the striatum and the substantia nigra, the site of neurons that send projections to the striatum. Ropinirole is a nonergot dopamine agonist with high relative in vitro specificity and full intrinsic activity at the D2 subfamily of dopamine receptors, binding with higher affinity to D3 than to D2 or D4 receptor subtypes. The relevance of D3 receptor binding in Parkinson's disease is unknown. The mechanism of ropinirole-induced postural hypotension is presumed to be due to a D2 -mediated blunting of the noradrenergic response to standing and subsequent decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. Ropinirole can cause nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, orthostatic hypotension, and sudden sleep attacks during the daytime. Unusual side effects specific to D3 agonists such as ropinirole and pramipexole can include hypersexuality, punding, and compulsive gambling, even in patients without a history of these behaviors.

Dexpramipexole (also known as KNS-760704/R-pramipexole) was originally developed by University of Virginia researchers to treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and then was licensed to global biotechnology company Biogen Idec for further development. However, on phase III clinical trial the study of this drug was discontinued. Biogen said the drug neither slowed the loss of muscle function nor prolonged the lives of patients with ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease. Nor did it show any efficacy in secondary endpoints of the clinical trial, or work in any sub-group of patients—about a big a failure as a company could have a Phase III trial. In addition, was discovered, that dexpramipexole was able to bind to beta-subunit of the mitochondrial F1/FO ATP synthase complex and increased its activity, thus reduced ischemic brain injury. These findings, together with the excellent brain penetration and favorable safety profile in humans, make dexpramipexole a drug with realistic translational potential for the treatment of stroke.
