Biochem/physiol Actions

Rotigotine hydrochloride is a non-ergolinic D3/D2 and D1-dopamine agonist. It is appropriate for transdermal delivery through skin patches, that has the drug in a silicone-based adhesive matrix.
Rotigotine is a dopamine receptor agonist with preference for D3 receptors over D2 and D1. As such, it is an effective anti-Parkinsonian agent. Racemic rotigotine is about 50 times as potent as quinpirole, the gold standard D2 agonist.
