what is apomorphine
Apomorphine (Apokyn, Ixense, Spontane, Uprima) is a non-selective dopamine agonist which activates both D1-like and D2-like receptors, with some preference for the latter subtypes.It is historically a morphine decomposition product by boiling with concentrated acid, hence the-morphine suffix.ithin 3â20 minutes of injection apomorphine demonstrates a magnitude of effect (ability to convert the patient with Parkinson's disease to the on state) that is comparable to l-dopa. A single subcutaneous injection lasts for up to 90 minutes.
