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.

We evaluated the effect of chronic administration of levosulpiride, a prokinetic drug that is a selective antagonist for D2 dopamine receptors, on the glycemic control of IDDM subjects. The study was performed on 40 long-standing IDDM subjects with clinical signs

Somatodendritic dopamine (DA) release from midbrain DA neurons activates D2 autoreceptors on these cells to regulate their activity. However, the source of autoregulatory DA remains controversial. Here, we test the hypothesis that D2 autoreceptors on a given DA neuron in

We describe three patients who presented with 4 to 5 Hz tremors of the suprahyoid region of the neck. Two developed their tremors in association with levosulpiride treatment. When they opened their mouths, the neck tremors disappeared; no tongue tremors

Dopamine D2-class receptors have been shown to control the excitability of striatal neurons in response to cortical activation. It has been unclear, however, whether such receptors could regulate the number of striatal neurons activated by cortical stimulation, and thus affect
