Chemical Information:
- Chemical Name: Rotigotine
- CAS Number: 99755-59-6
- Molecular Formula: C19H25NOS
- Molecular Weight: 315.477 g/mol

Pharmacological Effects:

Drug Type: Rotigotine is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist.

Mechanism of Action:
Rotigotine acts primarily by stimulating dopamine receptors (specifically D1, D2, and D3 receptors) in the brain. It mimics the action of dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter deficient in patients with Parkinson's disease and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). By activating these receptors, rotigotine helps to alleviate symptoms such as motor dysfunction and restlessness.
