Application

R-(-)-Apomorphine hydrochloride hemihydrate has been used as a dopamine receptor agonist to study its effects of rotational behavior in rat models of Parkinson′s disease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

R-(−)-Apomorphine acts as a non-selective D1 and D2 dopamine receptor agonist. It shows therapeutic effects against Parkinson′s disease and male erectile dysfunction. R-(−)-Apomorphine also shows neuroprotective, radical scavenging, and emetic effects. Apomorphine stimulates the brain chemoreceptor trigger zone. It stimulates the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the brain.

The present study examined the role of dopamine and D(1)-and D(2)-like dopamine receptors in ventrolateral orbital cortex (VLO)-evoked anti-hypersensitivity in a rat model of neuropathic pain, as well as the possible underlying mechanisms. Results showed that microinjection of apomorphine [(R(-)-apomorphine
