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.

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

Resolution of the unique dopamine receptor agonist 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7,8-dihydroxy-1-phenyl-1H-3-benzazepine (1) was achieved by a stereospecific multistep conversion of the readily separated enantiomers of its O,O,N-trimethylated precursor 2. The absolute stereochemistry of the antipodes of 2-MeI was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometric

Free-feeding rats meet much of their daily energy requirements by consuming food in meals during the nocturnal phase of the night/day cycle. Meal pattern analysis methodology has been developed to record the patterns of meal taken over a 24-h period

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
