Quinelorane is an octahydropyrimido[4,5-g]quinolone derivative patented by American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Co. as for the treatment anxiety, Parkinson's syndrome, depression, and hypertension. Quinelorane acts as an agonist of dopamine agonist for the D2 and D3 receptors. In preclinical studies Quinelorane (IM) treatment produced dose-dependent effects on male sexual responding. Penile erections and masturbation were markedly facilitated following treatment with either 2.5 or 5 micrograms/kg quinelorane. Higher doses of quinelorane (10 and 25 micrograms/kg) generally did not further augment sexual responding but rather resulted in a return in sexual responding to control vehicle levels. Quinelorane had a biphasic effect on yawning behavior of the monkeys with low doses (2.5 and 5 micrograms/kg) facilitating yawning and high doses (25 micrograms/kg) inhibiting yawning.
