Cơ Chế Tác Dụng :
ADX10061 is a potent, selective antagonist of the dopamine D1 receptor. It is developed by Addex Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of nicotine dependence.
Activation of dopamine D1 receptor in the brain is implicated in reward-seeking behaviours and cue-induced craving, and is the fundamental mechanism by which nicotine causes addiction. Both reward (the “feel good” sensation a smoker gets from a cigarette) and cue (the habitual situations that trigger the craving to smoke) are important drivers of the desire to smoke. Blocking the D1 receptor will, it is hoped, reduce the association with the stimuli specific to reward-seeking behaviour that lead smokers who are trying to quit starting smoking again.
Chỉ Định :
Investigated for use/treatment in sleep disorders, smoking cessation, and substance abuse.
