In vitro
Piribedil is a direct dopamine receptor agonist used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and of other clinical disorders involving dysfunction of the dopaminergic system. This compound has 20 times higher affinity for dopamine D3 than for dopamine D2-like receptors, and very low affinity for the dopamine D1 receptor subtype in rat brain. It is a potent inhibitor at dopamine D3 receptors with affinity between 30 and 60 nM. Although this chemical is not a potent agent, its affinity at hα2A- and hα2C-ARs was comparable to that at D2 receptors.
In vivo
Piribedil (2.5-4.0 mg/kg s.c.) accelerates hippocampal NE synthesis, elevates dialysis levels of NE in hippocampus and frontal cortex, and blocks hypnotic-sedative properties of the α2-AR agonist xylazine. Although a subchronic treatment with this compound (0.1-2 mg/kg) is not effective, a dose of 0.3 mg/kg administered for 3 weeks significantly reverses the akinetic deficits produced by the striatal dopamine depletion and progressively improves attentional deficits. When coadministered with the dopamine prodrug L-DOPA (3 mg/kg), this chemical (0.3 mg/kg) promotes a rapid and full recovery of preoperative performance.
