After 30 Years of Being Underestimated, This Approach Finally Has an FDA-Approved Drug
Since the introduction of levodopa in the 1960s, dopamine replacement strategies have remained a cornerstone of Parkinson’s disease treatment. Yet as treatment needs have evolved, the field has continued to seek therapies with novel mechanisms. The FDA recently approved AbbVie’s D1/D5 receptor partial agonist Juvmo (tavapadon) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in adults, adding a new treatment option that selectively modulates D1/D5 receptor signaling. At the same time, the industry continues to explore other therapeutic approaches, including adenosine A2A receptor antagonists, LRRK2-targeted therapies, and therapies targeting α-synuclein, further broadening the Parkinson’s disease R&D landscape.
Drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases, however, continues to face major biological challenges, including complex disease mechanisms and the blood-brain barrier. To address these industry needs, WuXi Biology, a business unit of WuXi AppTec, has built an integrated CNS drug discovery support system spanning efficacy assessment, safety evaluation, and translational research, providing global clients with systematic solutions from early mechanism validation to candidate advancement. WuXi AppTec DMPK has established an integrated pharmacokinetic research strategy around CNS that covers in vitro screening, in vivo evaluation, and mechanistic analysis, enabling global clients to accelerate the path from target validation to late-stage research for CNS drug candidates.
The significance of the newly approved Juvmo (tavapadon) goes beyond giving people with Parkinson’s disease another dopamine receptor agonist option. It also represents progress along a therapeutic path that had long been regarded as difficult to pursue successfully: targeting D1-like receptors.
D1-like receptors are an important subclass of the dopamine receptor family and include the D1 and D5 receptors. They were recognized more than 30 years ago as potential therapeutic targets in Parkinson’s disease, yet drug development against these receptors progressed slowly for decades. Why did such an important target remain on the sidelines for so long? And how did tavapadon bring this approach back into focus?

A Target Sidelined for Three Decades
The introduction of levodopa in the 1960s transformed the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. As a dopamine precursor, levodopa helps restore deficient dopaminergic signaling and can substantially improve motor symptoms. With long-term treatment, however, many patients gradually develop motor fluctuations and drug-induced dyskinesia.
These limitations prompted researchers to consider whether simply “adding dopamine” to the brain was sufficient as a long-term strategy. More selective activation of specific receptors within the dopamine system could, in principle, enable finer control of motor signaling.
D1-like receptors, including the D1 and D5 subtypes, emerged as attractive candidates. In particular, D1 receptors are predominantly expressed on neurons in the striatal direct pathway, where their activation is associated with the facilitation of movement. As early as the 1980s and 1990s, several full agonists targeting D1-like receptors entered development. Although some improved motor function in animal models, substantial challenges emerged in humans. Some compounds had poor oral bioavailability and required injection, while others could be given orally but were associated with hypotension, motor disturbances, and other tolerability or safety concerns.
These setbacks caused enthusiasm for D1-like receptor drug development to decline. Pharmacokinetic and tolerability limitations associated with early full agonists became major development barriers, leaving this once-promising target on the sidelines for nearly three decades.
Still, some researchers continued to explore D1-like receptor pharmacology. As understanding of receptor signaling advanced, they began to consider whether the problem lay not with the receptor itself, but with the full-agonist strategy.
A full agonist can be compared to pressing an accelerator all the way down: strong receptor activation can drive an intense biological response, leaving relatively little room between the desired pharmacological effect and unwanted effects.
So how could that problem be addressed?

Unlocking an Underestimated Pathway
During this period of exploration, Pfizer researchers pursued a different approach. Instead of seeking stronger activation of D1-like receptors, the strategy shifted toward more controlled activation through partial agonism. Based on this concept, Pfizer identified a candidate initially known as PF-06649751, which would later become tavapadon.
Pharmacologically, tavapadon is a highly selective D1/D5 receptor partial agonist. It has substantially greater affinity for D1/D5 receptors than for other dopamine receptor subtypes, while producing less receptor activation than a full agonist. Conceptually, this is more like adjusting the accelerator to an appropriate level rather than pressing it fully down—providing sufficient receptor activation to improve motor function while reducing the risk of excessive stimulation.
The molecule was also optimized for chronic treatment, including oral administration and once-daily dosing. Its development was intended in part to address tolerability issues, such as hypotension, that had limited earlier D1/D5 full agonists. These advances suggested that partial agonism could offer not only a pharmacologically viable approach, but also one better suited to the practical requirements of long-term treatment.
▲The molecular structure of tavapadon (Image source:PubChem)
In 2018, Pfizer and Bain Capital established Cerevel Therapeutics, a company focused on CNS drug development, creating a dedicated organization to advance this mechanistically differentiated molecule. Tavapadon subsequently became part of Cerevel’s pipeline and entered the pivotal TEMPO Phase 3 clinical development program.
A Relay Effort Brings Tavapadon to the Forefront
In December 2023, AbbVie announced an agreement to acquire Cerevel for approximately $8.7 billion as part of an expansion of its neuroscience pipeline, with tavapadon among the key assets.
In April 2024, the TEMPO-3 trial reported positive results in patients with more advanced Parkinson’s disease who were receiving levodopa and experiencing motor fluctuations. As an adjunct to levodopa, tavapadon significantly increased “ON” time without troublesome dyskinesia and reduced “OFF” time.
AbbVie completed its acquisition of Cerevel in August 2024. Over the following months, TEMPO-1 and TEMPO-2 also met their primary endpoints. When evaluated as monotherapy in early Parkinson’s disease, tavapadon produced statistically significant improvements in symptom scores compared with placebo. Together, the TEMPO studies provided further clinical support for the feasibility of selectively targeting D1/D5 receptors with a partial agonist.
In September 2025, AbbVie submitted a New Drug Application for tavapadon to the U.S. FDA, ultimately leading to its approval. Looking back, the path from Pfizer’s early pharmacological concept to Cerevel’s clinical development program and ultimately to AbbVie’s FDA submission and approval represents an industry relay across three companies that brought the medicine through regulatory review.
Tavapadon therefore offers not only a new mechanism-based treatment option for Parkinson’s disease, but also renewed clinical relevance for a receptor pathway that had faced development challenges for more than three decades.

Expanding Therapeutic Directions in Parkinson’s Disease
The success of tavapadon supports the therapeutic value of the D1/D5 pathway, but Parkinson’s disease drug development extends well beyond this mechanism. The industry is pursuing multiple approaches in search of additional therapies that may benefit patients.
Within the D1 receptor field, Eli Lilly and Company has developed mevidalen (LY3154207), a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of the D1 receptor. Rather than directly occupying the dopamine-binding site, mevidalen enhances activation of the D1 receptor by endogenous dopamine. The molecule was previously studied in Parkinson’s disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies; Lilly currently lists mevidalen in its pipeline for symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.
Beyond the dopaminergic system, non-dopaminergic targets represent another important area of investigation. Adenosine A2A receptor antagonists modulate the basal ganglia indirect pathway through a non-dopaminergic mechanism and represent one of the more established approaches in this category. Kyowa Kirin’s istradefylline has already been approved as adjunctive therapy for Parkinson’s disease, while next-generation A2A receptor antagonists continue to be explored clinically.
LRRK2-targeted therapies represent another direction. LRRK2 mutations are among the most common genetic causes of familial Parkinson’s disease, and abnormal pathway activity has also been observed in sporadic disease. Targeting LRRK2 may therefore offer a way to intervene more directly in disease biology.
In March 2026, Arvinas reported Phase 1 clinical data for its LRRK2 protein degrader ARV-102. In patients with Parkinson’s disease, ARV-102 reduced cerebrospinal fluid LRRK2 levels by approximately 50% or more at Day 14 across all dose levels, with the reductions maintained through Day 28.
Moving beyond symptom control toward slowing disease progression is another important goal in Parkinson’s disease research. Targeting α-synuclein is among the most closely watched disease-modifying strategies. In addition to passive antibody approaches, active immunization is also being explored.
AC Immune’s investigational active immunotherapy ACI-7104 recently generated positive week-100 results from Part 1 of the Phase 2 VacSYn trial in patients with early Parkinson’s disease. The study met all primary endpoints, with a 100% immune response rate after three immunizations, antibody penetration into cerebrospinal fluid, and signals of target engagement. These findings support further investigation of active immunization as a potential disease-modifying strategy in Parkinson’s disease.
Integrated Platform Supports Global CNS Drug Development
The development of tavapadon illustrates the long path from molecular design to clinical development. It also highlights why CNS drug R&D can resemble a long relay race, with each stage presenting distinct technical challenges.
For a CNS drug to progress from target validation toward patient use, researchers must answer a series of fundamental questions. Can the molecule cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve sufficient unbound drug concentrations in the brain? Can it act on the intended target with an acceptable safety profile?
In central nervous system (CNS) drug discovery, complex disease biology and biological barriers such as the blood–brain barrier (BBB) impose significant challenges, placing higher demands on the predictive value and translational relevance of preclinical models. WuXi Biology has established an integrated CNS drug discovery support platform encompassing efficacy evaluation, safety assessment, and translational research, providing systematic solutions for global clients from early mechanism validation through candidate advancement.
Leveraging strong in vivo pharmacology capabilities, the platform has developed a comprehensive set of disease models covering neurodegenerative disorders (such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS), psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. Combined with functional assessments including learning and memory, social behavior, addiction-related behavior, and pain-related endpoints, the platform enables comprehensive evaluation of cognitive and neurological functions.
WuXi Biology also integrates electroencephalogram monitoring, receptor occupancy analysis, biomarker evaluation, and PK/PD correlation studies to support multi-endpoint assessment of efficacy, safety, and target engagement, enabling the development of small molecules, biologics, and emerging therapeutic modalities. Supported by AAALAC-accredited animal facilities and standardized experimental systems, the platform closely links disease model data with translational science, improving late-stage predictability and development efficiency, helping clients reduce early-stage risk in CNS programs and accelerate the advancement of innovative therapies toward late-stage development.
In addition, WuXi AppTec DMPK has established an integrated pharmacokinetic strategy to address a central challenge in central nervous system (CNS) drug development: enabling sufficient brain penetration while maintaining effective exposure. To overcome the restrictive nature of the BBB, WuXi AppTec DMPK has built a tiered and systematic evaluation framework spanning in vitro screening, in vivo assessment, and mechanistic understanding.
At the early stage, high-throughput in vitro models, including parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) and MDR1-MDCK cell systems, are combined with transporter studies and physicochemical profiling to efficiently identify compounds with brain penetration potential. At the in vivo stage, techniques such as in situ brain perfusion and brain microdialysis are employed to quantitatively assess drug distribution and unbound concentrations in plasma, brain tissue, and cerebrospinal fluid, enabling accurate determination of key parameters such as the unbound brain-to-plasma partition coefficient (Kp,uu) and providing a true reflection of brain exposure.
In parallel, WuXi AppTec DMPK integrates pharmacokinetic data with physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, structure optimization, and transporter mechanism studies to support cross-scale decision-making from molecular design to clinical translation. Through this comprehensive “tiered screening + multi-model validation + mechanism-driven optimization” approach, WuXi AppTec DMPK empowers clients to improve the predictability of CNS drug exposure, overcome BBB-related development challenges, and accelerate the advancement of innovative therapies toward the clinic.
In Parkinson’s disease and across the broader CNS field, many treatment needs remain unmet. From revisiting targets, to iterating molecular design strategies, to optimizing late-stage development, each step forward depends on deeper scientific understanding and sustained accumulation of research and discovery capabilities. Looking ahead, WuXi AppTec will continue to leverage its integrated platform to support global clients in CNS drug discovery, helping more innovative therapies reach patients faster.
Key Takeaways:
The FDA approval of Juvmo (tavapadon) adds a new D1/D5 receptor-targeted option for adults with Parkinson’s disease. The approval brings renewed clinical relevance to a receptor pathway that has faced substantial development challenges for more than three decades.
Partial agonism provides a different way to revisit D1-like receptor pharmacology. Tavapadon was designed to provide selective, controlled activation of D1/D5 receptors while addressing pharmacokinetic and tolerability limitations that complicated the development of earlier full agonists.
Parkinson’s disease R&D is expanding across multiple mechanisms. Current approaches include D1 receptor positive allosteric modulators, adenosine A2A receptor antagonists, LRRK2-targeted therapies, and active immunization strategies targeting α-synuclein, with growing interest in approaches that may go beyond symptom control.
CNS drug development continues to face major translational challenges. Blood-brain barrier penetration, sufficient unbound brain exposure, target engagement, safety, and the predictive value of preclinical models remain important considerations throughout development.
WuXi AppTec provides end-to-end enabling capabilities for CNS drug discovery. WuXi Biology offers an integrated platform spanning efficacy evaluation, safety assessment, and translational research, with a broad portfolio of neurological disease models and functional endpoints. WuXi AppTec DMPK has built an integrated CNS pharmacokinetic strategy to help clients accelerate CNS candidates from target validation through late-stage research and toward the clinic.
