Tiaspirone hydrochloride (BMY-13859 hydrochloride) exhibits antipsychotic activity. Tiaspirone hydrochloride influences the electrophysiological activity of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra zona compacta (A9 DA cells) and ventral tegmental area (A10 DA cells) in the brain of the rat.

C-DIM12 induced expression of Nurr1-regulated genes. C-DIM12 increased expression of transfected human Nurr1, induced Nurr1 protein expression in primary dopaminergic neurons and enhanced neuronal survival from exposure to 6-OHDA.

SIRT3 activator2 (compound 2a) acts as an activator of SIRT3. It is presumed to bind directly with SIRT3 in SH-SY5Y cells, as inferred through thermal stability, facilitating the SIRT3-dependent clearance of α-Syn. Furthermore, SIRT3 activator2 enhances motor functions in Parkinsonian mice and dose-dependently prevents the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra.

Azoramide, a small-molecule modulator, has the antidiabetic activity of unfolded protein response.

Tipepidine is a non-narcotic antitussive with an antidepressant-like effect. Tipepidine reversibly inhibits dopamine (DA) D2 receptor-mediated GIRK currents (IDA(GIRK) ) (IC 50 = 7.0 μM) and subsequently activates VTA dopamine neurons.

MPP+ iodide, the metabolite of a neurotoxin MPTP, causes symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) in animal models by selectively destroying dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. MPP+ induces dopamine transporter (DAT) externalization in dopaminergic (DA) neurons, but internalization of serotonin transporter (SERT) in serotonergic (5-HT) neurons. MPP+ induces autophagic cell death in SH-SY5Y cells.
