The antitremor effect of the D 2 agonist LY 171555 and of the D 1 agonist CY 208‐243 alone and in combination was tested in a monkey previously rendered parkinsonian by MPTP and displaying exceptionally a rest termor in the limbs. The D 2 agonist suppressed rest tremor in a dose‐dependent fashion. The D 1 agonist by itself had no effect but it potentiated the effect of a small dose of LY 171555.
