Both clonidine and apomorphine lowered the open field performance of albino rats. Both when given individually along with antiparkinsonian agents like I-DOPA. benztropine and d -amphetamine lowered the open field scores of these antiparkinsonian agents. The parallel effects of apomorphine and clonidine suggest a common mechanism for their action i.e. stimulation of prarynaptic dopamine and/or norepinephrine receptors in CNS which regulate synthesis and release of DA and/or NE.
