Problems in the CNS dopaminergic system are thought to be the root cause of some neuropsychiatric disorders. Dopamine D2 receptor is one of the five types (D1 to D5) of receptors for dopamine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. Dopamine D2 receptor signaling using Nurr1 and ERK may play an important role in mesencephalic dopaminergic neuronal development. Faulty D2 receptors have been common in cases of ROS-dependent hypertension. In addition, defects in DRD2 are associted with alcohol-responsive dystonia, varying susceptability to familial alcoholism as well as a contributing factor to the suicide risk in alcoholics.

Previous studies have indicated that acute treatment with the monoamine stabilizer OSU-6162 (5 mg/kg), which has a high affinity for Sigma1R, significantly increased the density of accumbal shell D2R-Sigma1R and A2AR-D2R heteroreceptor complexes following cocaine self-administration. Ex vivo studies using
The current study was performed to establish the actions of nanomolar concentrations of cocaine, not blocking the dopamine transporter, on dopamine D2 receptor (D2R)-sigma 1 receptor (δ1R) heteroreceptor complexes and the D2R protomer recognition, signaling and internalization in cellular models.
Cocaine was previously shown to act at the Sigma1R which is a target for counteracting cocaine actions. It therefore becomes of interest to test if the monoamine stabilizer (-) OSU-6162 (OSU-6162) with a nanomolar affinity for the Sigma1R can acutely

The A2A adenosine (A2AR) and D2 dopamine (D2R) receptors form oligomers in the cell membrane and allosteric interactions across the A2AR-D2R heteromer represent a target for development of drugs against central nervous system disorders. However, understanding of the molecular determinants
The adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) and metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) form A2AR-D2R-mGluR5 heteroreceptor complexes in living cells and in rat striatal neurons. In the current study, we present experimental data supporting the view that
