Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Propylnorapomorphine acts as a potent dopamine receptor agonist. It has high affinity for both D1 and D2 dopamine receptors, and has been shown to have a higher affinity for D2 receptors than for D1 receptors. This makes it a potential candidate for the treatment of conditions such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, which are characterized by dopamine dysfunction.

Clinical Use[edit | edit source]

While propylnorapomorphine has been studied for its potential use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, it is not currently approved for these uses. Its potent emetic effects make it unsuitable for long-term use, and its potential for abuse and dependence is also a concern.
