| Bioactivity | Rotigotine is a potent dopamine receptor agonist with Ki values of 0.71 nM, 4-15 nM, and 83 nM for the dopamine D3 receptor and D2, D5, D4 receptors and dopamine D1 receptor. Rotigotine a partial agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor, and an antagonist of the α2B-adrenergic receptor. Rotigotine can be used for parkinson's disease (PD) research[1][2][3][4]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Rotigotine (0.01-10 µM) slightly protects dopaminergic neurons against MPP+ toxicity dopamine, protects dopaminergic neurons against rotenone-induced cell death and significantly inhibits ROS production by rotenone[2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Rotigotine (0.1-5 mg/kg; i.h.; for 14 days; male Sprague–Dawley rats) has antidepressant effect[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
