Application Notes:
Pridopidine is being studied as a potential treatment for Huntingtons disease, Parkinsons disease, and schizophrenia based on its locomotor stabilizing and antipsychotic-like effects.1,2 It was, unusually, able to reverse both hypo- and hyperdopaminergia depending on local dopamine concentrations without inducing catalepsy. This was originally attributed to functional dopamine D2 antagonism with fast on/off kinetics (''dopamine stabilizer).3 More recent studies have attributed pridopidines effects to its being a more potent sigma-1 ligand than a D2 ligand.4,5 Displays neuroprotective/restorative effects6,7 and ameliorates central features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis pathology8 in a sigma-1-mediated manner
