In de novo patients with early parkinsonism, acute subcutaneous challenges with apomorphine monotherapy have been proposed to test the dopaminergic responsiveness of the motor symptoms in order to help clinicians in differential diagnosis between "idiopathic" Parkinson's disease and other parkinsoni

Piribedil is a non-ergot derivative D2/D-3 agonist 1 with alpha-2 antagonistic effects 2 . Piribedil is effective in reversing parkinsonian symptoms in the MPTP-treated primate 3 . The clinical effects of piribedil cause lower prolactin plasma levels and blood pressure, and induces nausea. There is
Ropinirole is a selective dopamine (DA) agonist with nonergoline structure. 1,2 It interacts with D2-like receptors in vitro and in vivo, showing greatest affinity for the D3 subtype, with little or no interaction with other neurotransmitter receptors. Ropinirole produces alterations in motor behavi
Lisuride is an alpha-amino-ergoline with D2 receptor agonist properties and has no apparent D1 receptor effects. Similar to most ergotamine derivatives, lisuride also has 5-HT2 activity. In animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD), lisuride antagonizes reserpine-induced akinesia and induces rotatio
