Background:

SKF38393 HCl (SKF38393) is a selective dopamine D1 receptor agonist [1], with an IC50 value of 110 nM [2].

There are two functional types of dopamine receptors, D1 and D2 receptors [3]. The stimulation of the D1 receptor (D1R) in prefrontal cortex (PFC) results in an ‘inverted-U’ dose-response. Either too little or too much D1R stimulation can impair spatial working memory [4].

6-OHDA reduced the specific expression of mRNAs to encode substance P and D1 dopamine receptor in striatonigral neurons. Subsequently daily injections of SKF-38393 reversed this reduction effect. The treatment with SKF-38393 also increased dynorphin mRNA [5]. D1Rs activate cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases, stimulate adenylyl cyclase, regulate neuron growth and differentiation, modify dopamine D2 receptor-mediated events and influence behavior [3]. In a 96-well plate assay, the plating of MCF-7 cells was involved in the breast cancer in vitro screening procedure. After 1 day, treatment with SKF 38393 was applied to cells for 2 days. Data showed that SKF 38393 significantly decrease the proliferation of MCF-7 cells. The IC50 value was 0.1 +/- 0.03 μM [6].

In locally anesthetized, artificially respired, gallamine-treated rats, i.v. administration of SKF 38393 significantly altered dopamine cell activity. In these rats, firing rate increases and decreases were also observed [7].
