Biochem/physiol Actions

R-VK4-40 is an orally available, highly selective and potent dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) antagonists that does not exhibit unwanted cardiovascular effects. R-VK4-40 attenuates oxycodone induced rewards without compromising antinociceptive effects in rats. It reduces oxycodone self-administration and suppress naloxone-caused opioid withdrawal.

Dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) play a critical role in neuropsychiatric conditions including substance use disorders (SUD). Recently, we reported a series of N-(3-hydroxy-4-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)butyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide analogues as high affinity and selective D3R lead molecules for the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD).
