Glovadalen (developmental code name UCB-0022) is a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulator which is under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] It has been found to potentiate the capacity of dopamine to activate the D1 receptor by 10-fold in vitro with no actions on other dopamine receptors. [5] [6] As of May 2024, glovadalen is in phase 2 clinical trials for this indication. [1] [2] [5] The drug is under development by UCB Biopharma. [1] [4] [5] It is described as an orally active, centrally penetrant small molecule. [1] [5] [6]
Our analysis of dopaminergic therapies shows a continued emphasis on DA agonists and levodopa reformulation. These include Cerevel's tavapadon, a D1/D5 receptor partial agonist and UCB0022, a positive allosteric modulator of the D1 receptor, as well as approaches to sub-cutaneously deliver levodopa/carbidopa such as Abbvie's ABBV-951 and Neuroderm's ND0612.
