LY-116467, also known as LY-062, 6-methylpergolide, or 6-methyl-8β-((methylthio)methyl)ergoline, is a dopamine receptor agonist of the ergoline family which was never marketed.[1][2] It is the analogue of the antiparkinsonian agent pergolide in which the propyl group at the 6 position has been replaced with a methyl group.[1][2]

The drug shows high affinity for the dopamine D2 receptor (Ki = 12 nM), where it acts as a potent full agonist with similar potency and efficacy as pergolide (EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 14.5–16.2 nM; EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy = 90–97%).[2][3] In addition to its dopamine receptor agonism, LY-116467 also shows high affinity for serotonin 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors (K0.5 = 7.7 nM and Ki = 70 nM, respectively)[2] as well as affinity for the α1- and α2-adrenergic receptors.[4][5]

Compared to pergolide, LY-116467 showed 3.4-fold lower affinity for the dopamine D2 receptor, 4-fold higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1 receptor, and 1.3-fold lower affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptor.[2] The drug is similarly or less potent as a dopamine receptor agonist than pergolide in vivo.[1] Whereas pergolide is a potent serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptor partial agonist, LY-116467 instead acted as a potent silent antagonist of these receptors.[3][6] The drug is a weak antagonist of the α1- and α2-adrenergic receptors similarly to pergolide.[5]

LY-116467 was first described in the scientific literature by 1982.[7][1] It has been suggested that LY-116467 may lack the cardiac valvulopathy of pergolide and could be used clinically as a non-cardiotoxic replacement for it.[3][8]
