Rasagiline
MOAb inhibitor in presynaptic
Dopamine to DOPAC
Selegiline
MOAb inhibitor in presynaptic
Dopamine to DOPAC
Entacapone
COMT inhibitor
Stop dopamine degradation from DOPAC to homovanillic acid
Tolcapone
COMT inhibitor

Benzhexol
Antimuscarinic
Antagonist of musicarinic acetylcholine receptors (MAChRs)
Benzotropine
Antimuscarinic
Antagonist of musicarinic acetylcholine receptors (MAChRs)
Reserpine
Decreases dopamine release
Inhibits vesicular storage of dopamine by irreversibly inhibiting vesicular Monoamine transporter VMAT2
Tetrabenazine
Decreases dopamine release
Inhibits vesicular storage of dopamine by irreversibly inhibiting vesicular Monoamine transporter VMAT2
Amantadine
Inhibition of Amine uptake, MOA and release of dopamine (and noradrenaline) from monoaminergic terminals
Alpha methyl-p-tyrosine
Competitive inhibitor of dopamine. Blocks dopamine synthesis by inhibiting tyrosine hydroxylase
L-Dopa / levadopa
Contains peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor along with L-Dopa to prevent peripheral conversion outside BBB
Madopar
Contains peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor along with L-Dopa to prevent peripheral conversion outside BBB
Pergolide
Post synaptic dopamine receptor agonist
Show little selectivity between D1 and D2
Quinpirole
Post synaptic dopamine receptor agonist
Show little selectivity between D1 and D2
Bromocriptine
Post synaptic dopamine receptor agonist
Higher affinity for D1
