Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second-most prevalent neurodegenerative disease worldwide, which worsens with advancing age. It is a common movement disorder and is often associated with several vascular diseases with decreased stroke frequency. Circulating platelets substantially regulate vascular complications, including stroke, and share striking similarities with PD neurons.

Gamma oscillations are a widely recognized hallmark of abnormal neural electrical activity in levodopa-induced dyskinesia.

Kappa opioid receptors (KORs) are implicated in the pathophysiology of various psychiatric and neurological disorders creating interest in targeting the KOR system for therapeutic purposes. Accordingly, navacaprant (NMRA-140) is a potent, selective KOR antagonist being evaluated as a treatment for major depressive disorder. In the present report, we have extended the pharmacological characterization of navacaprant by further demonstrating its selective KOR antagonist properties and confirming its lack of agonist activity at KORs and related targets involved in opioid-related abuse.

However, previously developed D1R selective agonists possess a catechol moiety which displays poor pharmacokinetic properties. The first selective non-catechol D1R agonists were recently discovered and unexpectedly many of these ligands showed G protein biased signaling.
