The aim of this study was to compare dopamine receptor binding affinities of all currently approved dopamine receptor agonist treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) in human brain tissue. alpha-Dihydroergoeryptine and lisuride displayed higher comparative affinities (K-i = 35.4 and 56.7 nM, respectively) for D-1 receptors, than the D-1/D-2 dopamine agonist pergolide (Ki = 447 nM). The second generation non-ergot dopamine receptors agonists pramipexole and ropinirole demonstrated no affinity for D, receptors at concentrations up to 10(-4) M. The ergoline dopamine agonists cabergoline and lisuride displayed the highest affinities for the D-2 receptor (K-i = 0.61 and 0.95 nM, respectively). Surprisingly, the second generation non-ergot doparnine receptors agonists pramipexole and ropinirole only weakly inhibited binding to D2 receptors (K-i = 79.5 and 98.7 muM, respectively using [H-3]raclopride). Interestingly we also found that the affinities of cabergoline (K-i = 1.27 nM), lisuride (K-i = 1.08 nM) and pergolide (K-i = 0.86 nM) for the D-3 receptor subtype were comparable to that of pramipexole (K-i = 0.97 nM). The present results thus support the hypothesis that the antiparkinsonian effect of dopamine receptor agonists is mediated by a more complex interactions with dopamine receptor subtypes than currently believed.
