Side effectsof lisuride includenauseaand vomiting, dizziness,headache, fatigueordrowsiness, insomniaor sleep, gastrointestinal disturbances such asabdominal painordiarrhea, nasal congestion or runny nose, andhypotension,hallucinationsorconfusion(particularly at higher doses). Rarely, serious side effects such ascardiacorpulmonary fibrosishave been reported with long-term use, but they are extremely uncommon.[3]

Lisuride acts as a mixedagonistandantagonistofdopamine,serotonin,andadrenergic receptors.[1][4][5][6]Activation of specific dopamine receptors is thought to be responsible for its effectiveness in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and ability to suppressprolactinlevels,[1]while interactions with serotonin receptors are thought to be principally involved in its effectiveness formigraine.[7][8]

Medical uses

edit

Lisuride is used to lowerprolactinand, in low doses, to preventmigraineattacks.[1]The use of lisuride as initialantiparkinsonian medicationforParkinson's diseasehas been advocated, delaying the need forlevodopauntil lisuride becomes insufficient for controlling the parkinsonian symptoms.[1][additional citation(s) needed]Evidence is insufficient to support lisuride in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease as an alternative to levodopa orbromocriptine.[9][10]

Side effects

Side effectsof lisuride includenauseaandlowered blood pressure,among others.[3]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

edit

Lisuride is aligandofdopamine,serotonin,andadrenergic receptorsas well as thehistamine H1receptor.[4]It has sub-nanomolaraffinityfor the dopamineD2,andD3receptors,serotonin5-HT1Aand5-HT1Dreceptors,andα2A-,α2B-,andα2C-adrenergic receptors,and low-nanomolar affinity for the dopamineD1,D4,andD5receptors,serotonin5-HT2A,5-HT2B,and5-HT2Creceptors,α1A-,α1B-,andα1D-adrenergic receptors,and histamine H1receptor.[4][11][12]Lisuride is apartial agonistof the D2,D3,D4,5-HT2A,5-HT2C,5-HT5A,and H1receptors, afull or near-full agonistof the 5-HT1A,5-HT1B,and 5-HT1Dreceptors, and asilent antagonistof the 5-HT2Breceptor and α1A-, α2A-, α2B-, and α2C-adrenergic receptors.[5][6][12][13][14][15]Due to its highly non-selectivepharmacological activity, lisuride is described as a "dirty drug".[1]The effectiveness of lisuride in Parkinson's disease and hyperprolactinemia is thought to be mostly due to activation of dopamine D2receptors.[1]

While lisuride has a similar receptor binding profile to the more well-known and chemically similar ergolinelysergic acid diethylamide(LSD;N,N-diethyllysergamide) and acts as a partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2Areceptor likewise,[6]it lacks thepsychedeliceffects of LSD and hence is non-hallucinogenic.[16][1]Research suggests that the lack of psychedelic effects with lisuride arises frombiased agonismof the 5-HT2Areceptor. Stimulation of the 5-HT2Aprotomerwithin the5-HT2AmGlu2receptor complexevokes psychedelic effects, while these effects do not occur during sole stimulation ofmonomeric5-HT2Areceptors. Accordingly, differentG proteinsare involved.[17][18]Lisuride behaves as an agonist at the 5-HT2Areceptor monomer. Since itcompetitively antagonizesthe effects of LSD, it may be regarded as a protomer antagonist of the 5-HT2A–mGluRheteromer.[19]GPCR oligomersare discrete entities and usually possess properties distinct from their parent monomeric receptors. However, this theory is controversial, and other research has found that 5-HT2A–mGlu2dimers may not be essential for psychedelic effects.[20][21]Lisuride shows weak or noGqpathwayrecruitment and this may be responsible for its non-hallucinogenic nature.[22][23]

Lisuride dose-dependently suppressesprolactinlevels due to its dopaminergic activity.[1][24]As an antagonist of the 5-HT2Breceptor, lisuride has no risk ofcardiac valvulopathyin contrast to related ergolines likepergolideandcabergoline.[1]

Minute amounts of lisuride suppress the firing of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons, presumably due to agonist activity at 5-HT1Areceptors.[25]Noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus were accelerated by the drug at somewhat higher doses, consistent with α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist activity. Pars compacta dopamine neurons demonstrated a variable response.

Pharmacokinetics

edit

Absorptionof lisuride from thegastrointestinal tractwithoral administrationis complete.[3]Theabsolute bioavailabilityof lisuride is 10 to 20% due to highfirst-pass metabolism.[3]Theplasma protein bindingof lisuride is 60 to 70%.[3]Peak levelsof lisuride occur 60 to 80 minutes after ingestion with high variability between individuals.[3]Theelimination half-lifeof lisuride is approximately 2 hours.[3]This is shorter than most otherdopamine agonists.[3]Lisuride has more than 15 knownmetabolites.[3]

Chemistry

edit

Lisuride is described as thefree baseand as the hydrogenmaleatesalt.[27][28][29]

Brominationof lisuride givesbromerguride(2-bromolisuride), which has a "reversed pharmacodynamic profile" compared to that of lisuride.[30]

History

edit

Lisuride wassynthesizedby Zikán and Semonský at the Research Institute for Pharmacy and Biochemistry at Prague (later SPOFA) as anantimigraine agentanalogous tomethysergideand was described in 1960.[1][31]It was marketed by the early 1970s.[32]

Brand names

edit

Lisuride has been sold under brand names including Arolac, Cuvalit, Dopagon, Dopergin, Dopergine, Eunal, Lisenil, Lizenil, Lysenyl, Proclacam, Prolacam, and Revanil.[27][28][29][1]

Availability

edit

Lisuride was previously more widely available throughout the world,[28][1]but as of 2020 it appears to be marketed only inEgypt,France,Italy,Kuwait,Lebanon,Mexico,New Zealand,andPakistan.[29]Lisuride is not currently available in theUnited States,as the drug was not a commercial success.

Research

edit

Preliminary clinical research suggests thattransdermal administrationof lisuride may be useful in the treatment ofParkinson's disease.[1]As lisuride has poor bioavailability when taken orally and has a short half-life, continuous transdermal administration offers significant advantages and could make the compound a much more consistent therapeutic agent.[1]Lisuride was under development as atransdermal patchandsubcutaneous implantfor the treatment of Parkinson's disease,restless legs syndrome,anddyskinesiasin the 2000s and 2010s, but development was discontinued.[34][35]
