Mechanism of Action
Apomorphine is a non-selective dopamine agonist with high affinity for D?–D? receptors and some serotonergic and adrenergic receptor activity. It mimics dopamine, alleviating motor “off” episodes in Parkinson’s disease models .
Research Applications & Pharmacology
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Models: Used to manage acute motor “off” episodes with rapid onset (~10–20 min), mimicking dopaminergic therapy .
Pharmacokinetics & Comparison: Sublingual film/tablet provides similar efficacy to subcutaneous injection; widely preferred by patients in comparative studies pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+1en.wikipedia.org+1.
Dose Titration: Standard clinical initiation begins at 10?mg, optimized to 15–30?mg sublingually; research-grade 3?mg tablets can be used for precise titration .
Additional Research Use: Investigated for erectile function modulation, addiction treatment, Alzheimer’s disease, and vomiting induction in veterinary models .
Safety Profile & Handling
Common Side Effects: Nausea (often requiring antiemetics), orthostatic hypotension, somnolence, dizziness, dyskinesia .
Cardiac Effects: May cause QT prolongation—monitor cardiovascular parameters in research .
Drug Interactions: Potentiates hypotension with nitrates/vasodilators; alcohol and dopamine antagonists may reduce efficacy or increase side effects .
Handling Recommendations: Store protected from light and moisture; use PPE and lab-standard precautions. Discard expired items per institutional protocol.
