The selective D 1 agonists give profound antiparkinson effects in humans and primate models of PD, and yield cognitive enhancement in many preclinical models and a few clinical trials. The most dose-limiting feature is profound hypotension , but the clinical development was impeded largely by lack of oral bioavailability and short duration of ...
D 5 receptor is a subtype of the dopamine receptor that has a 10-fold higher affinity for dopamine than the D 1 subtype. [6] The D 5 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor, which promotes synthesis of cAMP by adenylyl cyclase via activation of Gα s/olf family of G proteins. [7] [8] Both D 5 and D 1 subtypes activate adenylyl cyclase.
A dopamine antagonist, also known as an anti-dopaminergic and a dopamine receptor antagonist (DRA), is a type of drug which blocks dopamine receptors by receptor antagonism. Most antipsychotics are dopamine antagonists, and as such they have found use in treating schizophrenia , bipolar disorder , and stimulant psychosis . [ 1 ]
Dopamine has been purported to be a negative regulator of insulin, [31] [32] meaning that bound D2 receptors inhibit insulin secretion. The connection between dopamine and beta cells was discovered, in part, due to the metabolic side-effects of certain antipsychotic medications.
Other serious side effects are hallucinations, peripheral edema, gastrointestinal ulcers, pulmonary fibrosis and psychosis. [1] [16] Dopamine agonists have been linked to cardiac problems, with side effects such as hypotension, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cardiac fibrosis, pericardial effusion and tachycardia.

Dopamine, sold under the brand name Intropin among others, is a medication most commonly used in the treatment of very low blood pressure, a slow heart rate that is causing symptoms, and, if epinephrine is not available, cardiac arrest. [4]
The D 1-like receptors are a subfamily of dopamine receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine. [1] The D 1-like subfamily consists of two G protein–coupled receptors that are coupled to G s and mediate excitatory neurotransmission, of which include D 1 and D 5. [2]
Ecopipam (development codes SCH-39166, EBS-101, and PSYRX-101) is a dopamine antagonist which is under development for the treatment of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, Tourette syndrome, speech disorders, and restless legs syndrome. [1] It is taken by mouth. [2] Ecopipam acts as a selective dopamine D 1 and D 5 receptor antagonist. [1]
