Application

(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.

Pharmacology, 87(1-2), 85-89 (2011-01-19)
Both the dopamine receptor D(1) agonist SKF 38393 and the antagonist SCH 23390 are benzazepine derivatives that have been widely used as pharmacological tools and radioligands. Evidence suggests that behavioral effects of both compounds do not always correspond to their

Neuroscience, 94(4), 1063-1070 (2000-01-07)
The present study was undertaken to better assess the role of dopamine on exocytosis. Since direct activation of adenylate cyclase (e.g., with forskolin) enhances neurotransmitter release it was of interest to see whether the activation of D1-type dopamine receptors, which
Carole Hyacinthe et al.
Neurobiology of disease, 63, 20-24 (2013-11-12)
Both excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deregulation are part of Parkinson's disease (PD) non-motor symptoms and may complicate dopamine replacement therapy. We report here that dopamine agonists act differentially on sleep architecture in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine

EMBO reports, 24(10), e56098-e56098 (2023-07-31)
A11 dopaminergic neurons regulate somatosensory transduction by projecting from the diencephalon to the spinal cord, but the function of this descending projection in itch remained elusive. Here, we report that dopaminergic projection neurons from the A11 nucleus to the spinal

The present study was designed to assess the behavioral similarity of the effects of prototype dopamine receptor-subtype selective agonists and cocaine. Squirrel monkeys (N = 4) were trained with food reinforcement to press one of two levers after administration of
