abstract：:Apomorphine (APO) is an anti-parkinsonian drug currently in use, which provides relief of Parkinson's symptoms. However, the utility of APO is greatly hampered by its poor bioavailability and rapid metabolism. In the present study, O,O'-diacetyl-apomorphine, a prodrug of apomorphine, was synthesized and its biological...
