Dihidreksidin je pokazao impresivno antiparkinsonsko dejstvo u modelu na primatima,[7] i bio je ispitivan za tretmanParkinsonove bolesti.[8] U ranim kliničkim ispitivanjima lek je korišćen intravenozno što je dovelo do znatene hipotenzije tako da je razvoj zaustavljen.[9] Razvoj je obnovljen kad je pokazano da su manje supkutane doze bezbedne.[10] Tome je sledila pilot studija za šizofreniju[11] i klinička ispitivanja s ciljem procenjivanja njegove efikasnosti u poboljšanju kognitivnog i memorijskog deficita kod šizofrenije i šizotipnog poremećaja.
