The antiparkinsonian effects of dopamine agonists have largely been attributed to activation of D, dopamine receptors. Reports in human and non-human primates using SKF38393, the prototypical D, agonist, have failed to demonstrate significant antiparkinsonian effects (Barone et al., 1986), suggesting that D, receptors were not involved. Although SKF38393 is a potent D, agonist, it causes only half as much stimulation of CAMP synthesis as dopamine (a biochemical function distinguishing D, from D, receptors). Recently, dihydrexidine (trans-lO, ll-dihydroxy-5, 6, 6a, 7, 8, 12bhexahydrobenzo-[alphenanthridine) has been reported to be as fully efficacious as dopamine, bioavailable in brain, and to have a IO-fold selectivity for the D, over D, receptor (Lovenberg et al., 1989; Brewster et al., 1990). Since there are reasons to hypothesize that appropriate occupation of D, receptors may be an essential component of efficacious antiparkinsonian therapy (Brewster et al., 1990), we tested dihydrexidine in non-human primates pretreated with the dopaminergic neurotoxicant I-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine-HC1 (MPTP), which results in a parkinsonian syndrome in humans and non-human primates.
