7-Hydroxyropinirole

Pharmaceutical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

7-Hydroxyropinirole (developmental code name SK&F-89124 or SKF-89124) is a dopamine receptor agonist and active metabolite of the antiparkinsonian agent ropinirole (SK&F-101468).[1][2][3] It is a major metabolite of ropinirole in rats and dogs but a minor metabolite in mice, monkeys, and humans.[4][3] In humans, 7-hydroxyropinirole accounts for less than 5% of a dose of ropinirole.[5] Its involvement in ropinirole's effects in humans is unknown.[5]

The drug is described as a highly potent and highly selective dopamine D2-like receptor agonist.[2] It has been reported to be 30-fold more potent than ropinirole as a dopamine D2 receptor agonist in vitro.[6][7] However, ropinirole and 7-hydroxyropinirole were equipotent in terms of antiparkinsonian activity in rodents in vivo.[3]

7-Hydroxyropinirole is said to be rapidly glucuronidated in humans.[8] In addition, 7-hydroxyropinirole has reduced capacity to cross the blood–brain barrier than ropinirole.[9] This is due to its hydroxyl group, which increases it polarity and reduces its lipophilicity.[9] The log P of ropinirole is 2.46, whereas that of 7-hydroxyropinirole is 2.17.[9]

7-Hydroxyropinirole was first described in the scientific literature by 1983.[10] Subsequently, ropinirole was described in 1985.[1][11][12]
