Application

(S)-(−)-Sulpiride was used to study the effect of dopamine D2 receptor function on activation of KCNQ potassium channels10 and on depression-like behavior in ovariectomized female rats.11

Biochem/physiol Actions

(S)-(−)-Sulpiride or Levosulpiride blocks the inhibitory enteric D2 receptors (neuronal and muscular). It has prokinetic activity and is effective in the treatment of functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients.7,8 Since dopamine controls human sexual function, (S)-(−)-Sulpiride is reportedly effective in treatment of erectile dysfunctions.9
D2 dopamine receptor antagonist; antipsychotic.

Activation of KCNQ potassium channels by stimulation of co-expressed dopamine D(2) receptors was studied electrophysiologically in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in mammalian cells. To address the specificity of the interaction between D(2)-like receptors and KCNQ channels, combinations of KCNQ1-5 channels
