## Abstract In contrast to levodopa (L‐dopa), de novo administration of the D2‐like receptor agonist bromocriptine to patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) or to 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)‐treated subhuman primates is not associated with the onset of significant dyskinesia
## Abstract Piribedil ([1‐(3,4‐methylenedioxybenzyl)‐4‐(2‐pyrimidinyl)piperazine]; S 4200) is a dopamine agonist with equal affinity for D~2~/D~3~ dopamine receptors effective in treating Parkinson's disease as monotherapy or as an adjunct to levodopa (L‐dopa). However, its ability to prime basal g
