Uses
(
R)-(+)-SKF-38393 hydrochloride has been used as a D1 dopamine receptor agonist to study its effect on the sleep-wake pattern of macaques rendered parkinsonian with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).
Biochem/physiol Actions
(R)-(+)-SKF-38393 hydrochloride is a D1 dopamine receptor agonist and an active enantiomer of (±)-SKF-38393. It enhances pertussis toxin-insensitive and protein kinase A-mediated glutamate release in the hippocampal neurons. SKF-38393, a?benzazepine derivative, exhibits anorectic effects.
