Rotigotine (N-0923) has a 10-fold selectivity for D3 (pKi 9.2) receptors compared with D2, D4 and D5 (pKi 8.5-8.0) and a 100-fold selectivity compared with D1 receptors (pKi 7.2). In functional studies, Rotigotine (N-0923) behaves as full agonist at all dopamine receptors but notably the potency for stimulation of D1 receptors is similar to that for D2 and D3 receptors (pEC50 respectively: 9.0, 9.4-8.6, 9.7)[1]. Rotigotine (N-0923) (10 μM) decreases the number of THir neurons by 40% in primary mesencephalic cell culture. Rotigotine (0.01 μM) slightly protects dopaminergic neurons against MPP+ toxicity, significantly protects dopaminergic neurons against rotenone-induced cell death, and significantly inhibits ROS production by rotenone[4].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.10 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.10 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Protocol
Binding assays are performed in 96-well polypropylene tubes in a final volume of 2 mL for D1 and D4 membranes and 1 mL for D2, D3 and D5 membranes containing: 50 μL radioligand, 10 μL drug/buffer/non-specific binding, buffer (final concentration 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, MgCl2 2 mM) and membranes (5 μg protein for D2 and D3 and 25 μg protein for D1 and D5). Following 120 min of incubation at 25°C, bound radioligand is determined by rapid vacuum filtration through A/C glass fibre filters presoaked in 0.1% polyethylenimine. The filters are washed four times with 2 mL ice-cold ishing buffer (Tris-HCl 50 mM, pH 7.4 at 4°C) and retained radioactivity is determined by liquid scintillation counting.

Primed rats: Two weeks after the 6-OHDA lesions, rats are primed with apomorphine (0.5 mg/kg s.c.). Rats showing less than 150 contralateral rotations during the 1 h testing period are excluded from the study. Three days after priming, rats are divided into different experimental groups and treated with different doses of the dopamine receptor agonists (Rotigotine or pramipexole) alone or in combination with dopamine D1 (SCH 39166) or D2 (eticlopride) receptor antagonists as reported: saline+Rotigotine (0.035 mg/kg s.c., n=9; 0.1 mg/kg s.c., n=9; 0.35 mg/kg s.c., n=8); SCH 39166 (0.1 mg/kg s.c.)+Rotigotine (0.035 mg/kg s.c., n=5; 0.1 mg/kg s.c., n=7; 0.35 mg/kg s.c., n=5); eticlopride (0.1 mg/kg s.c.) + Rotigotine (0.1 mg/kg s.c., n=5; 0.35 mg/kg s.c., n=5); Saline+pramipexole (0.035 mg/kg s.c., n=5; 0.1 mg/kg s.c., n=12; 0.35 mg/kg s.c., n=7); SCH 39166 (0.1 mg/kg s.c.)+pramipexole (0.035 mg/kg s.c., n=5; 0.1 mg/kg s.c., n=6; 0.35 mg/kg s.c., n=6); eticlopride (0.1 mg/kg s.c.)+pramipexole (0.1 mg/kg s.c., n=7; 0.35 mg/kg s.c., n=5).
