Description
Ropinirole is an indoline agonist at D2/3 receptors that is clinically used to treat restless leg syndrome and Parkinson’s disease. Ropinirole prevents dopaminergic neuron damage and MPTP-induced changes in motor coordination and balance in animal models, exhibiting neuroprotective benefit. Ropinirole also displays antidepressant activity, decreasing immobility time in the forced swim test.
