Product Description
Dopamine D2 receptor agonist-3 (compound 3) is a selective dopamine D2 receptor partial agonist and D3 receptor antagonist (pEC50: 8.3 and <5.5, respectively).
Dopamine D2 receptor agonist-3 is a synthetic small-molecule agonist of the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R). This compound is designed to selectively activate D2R signaling pathways, which are implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and depression. It serves as a research tool for studying dopamine receptor pharmacology and for developing potential therapeutics targeting dopaminergic dysfunction.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
D2 Receptor 5 nM (EC50) D3 Receptor >3.2 μM (EC50)
The primary target of Dopamine D2 receptor agonist-3 is the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) belonging to the D2-like receptor subfamily. D2 receptors are widely expressed in the central nervous system, particularly in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, and substantia nigra, where they regulate motor control, reward processing, cognition, and neuroendocrine secretion. Activation of D2R leads to Gi/o-mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase, decreased cAMP, and modulation of potassium and calcium channels.
ln Vitro
No specific in vitro activity data was found. As a D2 receptor agonist, the compound is expected to bind to D2 receptors and activate downstream G protein signaling pathways. Standard in vitro characterization would involve measuring its binding affinity (Ki) using radioligand displacement assays on membranes from cells expressing recombinant D2 receptors, and its functional potency (EC50) using assays such as inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation, [3⁵S]GTPgammaS binding, or calcium mobilization (for Gq-coupled D2 receptors).
ln Vivo
Dopamine D2 receptor agonist-3 (3 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection) showed high brain penetration (brain-to-blood ratio of 5.5) and a Tmax of 0.5 h[1].
No specific in vivo data was found. As a D2 receptor agonist, the compound would be expected to produce classic D2-mediated effects in vivo, including inhibition of prolactin secretion (via D2 receptors on pituitary lactotrophs), modulation of locomotor activity (low-dose stimulation, high-dose inhibition), and potential antipsychotic or anti-Parkinsonian effects depending on the specific signaling bias. It could be used in rodent models of Parkinson's disease (e.g., 6-OHDA-lesioned rats) to assess motor improvement.
Enzyme Assay
Standard dopamine D2 receptor radioligand binding assay: Membrane preparations from HEK293 cells stably expressing human D2L or D2S receptors (5-20 ug protein/well) are incubated with 0.5-1 nM [3H]-spiperone or [3H]-raclopride and varying concentrations of the test compound (0.001-10,000 nM) in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA at 25degC for 60-90 minutes. Nonspecific binding is determined with 10 uM (+)-butaclamol or 10 uM haloperidol. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration through GF/B filters presoaked in 0.3% PEI and counted. Ki values are calculated.
Cell Assay
Standard D2 receptor functional assay (cAMP inhibition): HEK293 cells expressing human D2L receptors are seeded in 96-well plates. The next day, cells are pre-incubated with varying concentrations of the test compound (0.001-10,000 nM) for 15 minutes in assay buffer containing IBMX (0.5 mM) to inhibit phosphodiesterase. Forskolin (1-10 uM) is then added to stimulate cAMP production. After 30 minutes at 37degC, cells are lysed, and intracellular cAMP levels are measured using a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) cAMP kit or a competitive ELISA. The EC50 for inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation is calculated.
Animal Protocol
No specific animal protocol was found. To evaluate D2 receptor agonist activity in vivo, male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-250 g) may be used. The test compound is administered intraperitoneally or orally at doses ranging from 0.01-10 mg/kg. Blood samples are collected 30-60 minutes post-dosing, and serum prolactin levels are measured by ELISA as a pharmacodynamic marker of D2 receptor activation (D2 agonists inhibit prolactin secretion). For behavioral assessments, locomotor activity is measured in an open field apparatus for 30-60 minutes post-dosing. Cataleptic response may be assessed by the bar test.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific PK data was found. As a small-molecule D2 receptor agonist, the compound is expected to have good oral bioavailability and CNS penetration due to its lipophilic nature. D2 agonists typically have half-lives ranging from 1-8 hours in rodents, are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes (primarily in the liver), and are excreted in urine and feces. Standard PK studies in rodents with LC-MS/MS analysis would be required to determine t½, Cmax, AUC, and bioavailability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data was found. D2 receptor agonists in clinical use (e.g., pramipexole, ropinirole) are generally well-tolerated but can cause side effects including nausea, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, somnolence, impulse control disorders, and hallucinations, especially at higher doses or with chronic use. The compound is for research use only, and standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling it.
