Description

dopamine: A catecholamine thatis a precursor in the synthesis of noradrenalineand adrenaline. It alsofunctions as a neurotransmitter inthe brain.


Solid


Dopamine is catechol in which the hydrogen at position 4 is substituted by a 2-aminoethyl group. It has a role as a cardiotonic drug, a beta-adrenergic agonist, a dopaminergic agent, a sympathomimetic agent, a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a conjugate base of a dopaminium(1+).|One of the catecholamine neurotransmitters in the brain. It is derived from tyrosine and is the precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (receptors, dopamine) mediate its action.|Dopamine is a Catecholamine.|Dopamine is a monoamine compound with positive inotropic activity. Dopamine is a naturally occurring catecholamine formed by decarboxylation of dehydroxyphenylalanine and a precursor of norepinephrine and epinephrine. Dopamine binds to alpha-1 and beta-1 adrenergic receptors. Mediated through myocardial beta-1 adrenergic receptors, dopamine increase heart rate and force, thereby increasing cardiac output. Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor stimulation on vascular smooth muscle, leads to vasoconstriction and results in an increase in systemic vascular resistance. Stimulation of dopaminergic receptors in renal vasculature, leads to renal blood vessel dilation, and an increase in glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, sodium excretion, and urine output.|One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

Drug Information

For the correction of hemodynamic imbalances present in the shock syndrome due to myocardial infarction, trauma, endotoxic septicemia, open-heart surgery, renal failure, and chronic cardiac decompensation as in congestive failure|Treatment of vascular hypotensive disorders

Cardiotonic Agents|Dopamine also is used to increase cardiac output and blood pressure in advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Dopamine may be considered in the treatment of symptomatic bradycardia unresponsive to atropine, as a temporizing measure while awaiting availability of a pacemaker, or if pacing is ineffective. During resuscitation, dopamine therapy often is used for the management of hypotension, particularly if associated with symptomatic bradycardia or after return of spontaneous circulation. Dopamine combined with other agents, such as dobutamine, also may be a useful option in the management of postresuscitation hypotension. If hypotension persists after filling pressure (i.e., intravascular volume) is optimized, drugs with combined inotropic and vasopressor actions (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine) may be used. Some evidence from animal studies suggests that epinephrine may be more effective than dopamine in improving hemodynamics during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In addition, epinephrine generally is preferred for patients with severe bradycardia and associated hypotension since pulseless electrical activity or even asystole may be imminent. /Included in US product label/|The net hemodynamic effects of dopamine make it particularly useful in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (including that associated with acute myocardial infarction) or in shock in which oliguria is refractory to other vasopressor agents. Some experts state that dopamine may be considered for the treatment of drug-induced hypovolemic shock, and often is the recommended initial agent for this use when the patient is unresponsive to fluid volume expansion and inotropic and/or vasopressor support is required. The drug can be used as an adjunct (to increase cardiac output further and maintain blood pressure) to afterload reduction with vasodilators (e.g., sodium nitroprusside) in patients with left ventricular failure following acute myocardial infarction when arterial pressure decreases precipitously during afterload reduction; for less precipitous decreases, dobutamine may be preferred but should not be used alone in severely hypotensive patients. In patients with hypotensive cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction, dopamine may be used to replace norepinephrine therapy once systemic arterial pressure has increased to at least 80 mm Hg. Once arterial blood pressure has been stabilized to at least 90 mm Hg, dobutamine may be used concomitantly with dopamine in such patients in an attempt to reduce dopamine requirements. Dopamine also has been used to support cardiac output and maintain arterial pressure during intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation therapy (e.g., in patients with hypotensive cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction). The use of dopamine in low cardiac output syndrome following open heart surgery has been shown to increase long-term survival. However, because dobutamine lowers peripheral resistance over a wide dosage range, is not dependent on release of endogenous catecholamines for its effects, and is cardioselective, that drug may be preferable in the period immediately following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. /Included in US product label/|Dopamine is used to increase cardiac output, blood pressure, and urine flow as an adjunct in the treatment of shock that persists after adequate fluid volume replacement and when systemic vascular resistance is decreased. /Included in US product label/|For more Therapeutic Uses (Complete) data for DOPAMINE (12 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

Dopamine should be used with caution in patients with ischemic heart disease. The drug is contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma and in patients with uncorrected tachyarrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation.|Commercially available formulations of dopamine hydrochloride may contain sulfites that can cause allergic-type reactions, including anaphylaxis and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes, in certain susceptible individuals. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown but probably low; such sensitivity appears to occur more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic individuals.|Caution should be used to avoid extravasation of the drug. Dopamine should be administered through a long IV catheter into a large vein, preferably in the antecubital fossa rather than the hand or ankle. One manufacturer states that administration into an umbilical arterial catheter is not recommended. If larger veins are unavailable and the condition of the patient requires that the hand or ankle veins be used to administer dopamine, the injection site should be changed to a larger vein as soon as possible. The injection site should be carefully monitored.|Patients with a history of occlusive vascular disease (e.g., atherosclerosis, arterial embolism, Raynaud's disease, cold injury, diabetic endarteritis, or Buerger's disease) should be carefully monitored during dopamine therapy for decreased circulation to the extremities indicated by changes in color or temperature of the skin or pain in the extremities. If these occur, they may be corrected by decreasing the rate of infusion or discontinuing dopamine; however, these changes occasionally have persisted and progressed after discontinuing dopamine. The potential benefits of continuing dopamine should be weighed against the possible risk of necrosis.|For more Drug Warnings (Complete) data for DOPAMINE (13 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

Dopamine is a natural catecholamine formed by the decarboxylation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). It is a precursor to norepinephrine in noradrenergic nerves and is also a neurotransmitter in certain areas of the central nervous system, especially in the nigrostriatal tract, and in a few peripheral sympathetic nerves. Dopamine produces positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the myocardium, resulting in increased heart rate and cardiac contractility. This is accomplished directly by exerting an agonist action on beta-adrenoceptors and indirectly by causing release of norepinephrine from storage sites in sympathetic nerve endings.

They may be CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES; SYMPATHOMIMETICS; or other drugs. They are used after MYOCARDIAL INFARCT; CARDIAC SURGICAL PROCEDURES; in SHOCK; or in congestive heart failure (HEART FAILURE). (See all compounds classified as Cardiotonic Agents.)

Dopamine is rapidly absorbed from the small intestine.|It has been reported that about 80% of the drug is excreted in the urine within 24 hours, primarily as HVA and its sulfate and glucuronide conjugates and as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid. A very small portion is excreted unchanged.|Dopamine is frequently used in critically ill newborn infants for treatment of shock and cardiac failure, but its pharmacokinetics has not been evaluated using a specific analytical method. Steady-state arterial plasma concentrations of dopamine were measured in 11 seriously ill infants receiving dopamine infusion, 5-20 ug/kg-1.min-1, for presumed or proven sepsis and hypotensive shock. Steady-state concentrations of dopamine ranged from 0.013-0.3 ug/mL. Total body clearance averaged 115 mL/kg-1.min-1. The apparent volume of distribution and elimination half life averaged 1.8 l.kg-1 and 6.9 min, respectively. No relationship was observed between dopamine pharmacokinetics and gestational age, postnatal age or birthweight. Substantial interindividual variation was seen in dopamine pharmacokinetics in seriously ill infants, and plasma concentrations could not be predicted accurately from its infusion rate. Marked variation in clearance explains in part, the wide dose requirements of dopamine needed to elicit clinical response in critically ill newborn infants.|Less than 10% of a dose is recovered unchanged in the urine.|Plasma dopamine concentrations /of children (age 3 months to 13 yrs) recovering from cardiac surgery or shock/ were measured at the steady state or at termination of infusion using high-performance liquid chromatography. The half-lives of distribution and elimination were 1.8 +/- 1.1 and 26 +/- 14 (SD) mins, respectively. The apparent volume of distribution was 2952 +/- 2332 mL/kg. The clearance rate was 454 +/- 900 mL/kg.min. Dopamine clearance was linearly related to dose only in patients who were also receiving dobutamine (r2 = .76, p less than .05). Hepatic and renal dysfunction did not affect the pharmacokinetics of dopamine. A relationship between dopamine and dobutamine that affects the disposition of these two drugs may exist. The pharmacokinetics of dopamine are variable even in hemodynamically stable children. Hepatic or renal function does not adversely affect the pharmacokinetics of dopamine.|The brain contains separate neuronal systems that utilize 3 different catecholamines- dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine ... More than half of the central nervous system content of catecholamine is dopamine and extremely high amt are found in the basal ganglia (especially the caudate nucleus), the nucleus accumbens, the olfactory tubercle, the central nucleus of the amygdala, the median eminence, and restricted fields of the frontal cortex.|Dopamine is widely distributed in the body but does not cross the blood-brain barrier to a substantial extent. The apparent volume of distribution of the drug in neonates ranges from 0.6-4 L/kg. It is not known if dopamine crosses the placenta.

Biotransformation of dopamine proceeds rapidly to yield the principal excretion products, 3-4-dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid (homovanillic acid, HVA).|Dopamine is extensively metabolized in the liver. ... Hepatic metabolism results in inactive metabolites (75% of the dose) and norepinephrine (active, 25% of the dose) in the adrenergic nerve terminals. The principal means of elimination appear to be O-methylation by catechol-O-methyltransferase to form 3-methoxytyramine, followed either by sulfoconjugation (by phenosulfotransferase) or by deamination (by monoamine oxidase (MAO)) to homovanillic acid. Approximately 80% of the drug is excreted in the urine as homovanillic acid, homovanillic acid metabolites, and norepinephrine metabolites within 24 hours.|Yields N-acetyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine in man, in rat; Hauson A, Studnitz W Von; Clinica Chim Acta 11: 384 (1965); Goldstein M, Musacchio Jm; Biochim Biophys Acta 58: 607 (1962).

In neonates, the elimination half-life of dopamine reportedly is 5-11 minutes.

Dopamine is a precursor to norepinephrine in noradrenergic nerves and is also a neurotransmitter in certain areas of the central nervous system. Dopamine produces positive chronotropic and inotropic effects on the myocardium, resulting in increased heart rate and cardiac contractility. This is accomplished directly by exerting an agonist action on beta-adrenoceptors and indirectly by causing release of norepinephrine from storage sites in sympathetic nerve endings. In the brain, dopamine actas as an agonist to the five dopamine receptor subtypes (D!, D2, D3, D4, D5).|Dopamine acts on cardiac beta-1-adrenergic receptors and has dosage-dependent effects on peripheral receptors. Dopamine receptors are activated at a low infusion rate (0.5-2 ug/kg/min). At a rate > 4-6 ug/kg/min, peripheral alpha-adrenergic receptors are activated, and vasoconstriction and increased afterload may occur.|The effects that dopamine produces in the body are directly related to its actions on alpha, beta, and dopaminergic receptor sites. When these receptors are stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels increase, increasing calcium transport into the cell. The amount of dopamine determines which receptors are predominantly stimulated. At infusion rates more than 5 to 10 ug/kg/minute, alpha-receptor stimulation predominates, resulting in peripheral vasoconstriction, with a rise in blood pressure. At infusion rates greater than 20 ug/kg/minute, the vasoconstrictive effect can be greater than the beta1 effect.|The cardiovascular effects of dopamine are mediated by several distinct types of receptors that vary in their affinity for dopamine. At low concentrations, the primary interaction of dopamine is with vascular D1 receptors, especially in the renal, mesenteric, and coronary beds. By activating adenylyl cyclase and raising intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP, D1 receptor stimulation leads to vasodilation. Infusion of low doses of dopamine causes an increase in glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, and Na+ excretion. Activation of D1 receptors on renal tubular cells decreases sodium transport by cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent mechanisms. Increasing cAMP production in the proximal tubular cells and the medullary part of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle inhibits the Na+-H+ exchanger and the Na+,K+-ATPase pump. The renal tubular actions of dopamine that cause natriuresis may be augmented by the increase in renal blood flow and the small increase in the glomerular filtration rate that follow its administration. The resulting increase in hydrostatic pressure in the peritubular capillaries and reduction in oncotic pressure may contribute to diminished reabsorption of sodium by the proximal tubular cells.|At somewhat higher concentrations, dopamine exerts a positive inotropic effect on the myocardium, acting on beta1 adrenergic receptors. Dopamine also causes the release of norepinephrine from nerve terminals, which contributes to its effects on the heart. Tachycardia is less prominent during infusion of dopamine than of isoproterenol. Dopamine usually increases systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and either has no effect on diastolic blood pressure or increases it slightly. Total peripheral resistance usually is unchanged when low or intermediate doses of dopamine are given, probably because of the ability of dopamine to reduce regional arterial resistance in some vascular beds, such as mesenteric and renal, while causing only minor increases in others. At high concentrations, dopamine activates vascular alpha1 receptors, leading to more general vasoconstriction.|For more Mechanism of Action (Complete) data for DOPAMINE (9 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
