PD 120697 is a dopamine antagonist. It is a novel class of compounds with central dopamine agonist properties. It has been identified as orally active dopamine (DA) agonists with pronounced central nervous system effects in tests that include [3H]-haloperidol and [3H]-N-propylnorapomorphine binding, inhibition of striatal DA synthesis, inhibition of DA neuronal firing, inhibition of spontaneous locomotor activity, and reversal of reserpine-induced depression in rats.

PD 120697 is an orally active dopamine (DA) agonist. PD 120697 inhibits striatal DA synthesis, DA neuronal firing, spontaneous locomotor activity, and reverses Reserpine (HY-N0480)-induced depression[1].
