Progress in pharmaceutics research of pramipexole dihydrochloride
Objective In order to understand the advances of pharmacokinetics and pharmaceutical aspects of pramipexole dihydrochloride,and provide a reference for research and development.Methods The pharmacokinetics and pharmaceutical aspects of pramipexole dihydrochloride were reviewed by consulting published articles.Results Pramipexole dihydrochloride is a selective no-nergot dopamine receptor agonist,which is generally used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome.At the same time,it also has a variety of pharmacological effects,such as antidepressant effect,neuroprotective effect,antioxidant effect and anti-inflammatory effect,which has been widely studied and valued by the pharmaceutical industry.Pramipexole dihydrochloride has the characteristics of rapid oral absorption and high bioavailability.At present,pramipexole hydrochloride is used as a single main drug listed preparation for oral administration of ordinary tablets and sustained-release tablets.The drug should be taken many times,which is prone to the fluctuations in blood concentration.Therefore,patients have poor compliance and need to be improved urgently.Conclusion Sustained-release,controlled-release drugs and transdermal drug delivery drugs have been developed rapidly in recent years,and have gradually become a focus of pramipexole dihydrochloride preparations.
