Dopamine Receptor
Dopamine Receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). The neurotransmitter dopamine is the primary endogenous ligand for dopamine receptors. Dopamine receptors are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivation, pleasure, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling. Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Thus, dopamine receptors are common neurologic drug targets; antipsychotics are often dopamine receptor antagonists while psychostimulants are typically indirect agonists of dopamine receptors. There are at least five subtypes of dopamine receptors, D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. The D1 and D5 receptors are members of the D1-like family of dopamine receptors, whereas the D2, D3 and D4receptors are members of the D2-like family.

Chlorpromazine
0 ImagesChlorpromazine is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-transparent antipsychotic agent that effectively antagonises D2 dopamine receptors and 5-HT2A, which is widely used in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Chlorpromazine exerts anti-cancer activity through a variety of pathways, including anti-proliferation, induction of autophagy and cycle arrest (G2-M phase), inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), inhibition of tumour growth and metastasis, and inhibition of tumour immune escape. Chlorpromazine also blocks hNav1.7 channels (IC50=25.9 μM; concentration-dependent) and HERG potassium channels (IC50=21.6 μM), which has potential for analgesic and cardiac arrhythmic studies. Chlorpromazine also can inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Dihydroergotamine mesylate
0 ImagesDihydroergotamine mesylate is a blood-brain barrier-permeable semi-synthetic ergot alkaloid, acting as a full agonist of 5-HT1B/1D receptors (Ki values of 0.3 nM and 2.5 nM, respectively; functional IC50 values of 2 nM and 2.2 nM, respectively). Dihydroergotamine mesylate inhibits Forskolin (HY-15371)-stimulated cAMP accumulation, possesses α-adrenergic receptor antagonistic activity and weak dopaminergic agonistic activity. It mediates intracranial cerebrovascular contraction, inhibits the release of neuropeptides such as CGRP/substance P, and suppresses neurogenic inflammation by activating 5-HT1B/1D receptors in the trigeminovascular system. Dihydroergotamine mesylate binds to the catalytic site of Trypanosoma cruzi trypanothione reductase and exhibits trypanocidal activity in vitro. Dihydroergotamine mesylate can be used in studies related to migraine and trypanosome infections.

SKF-83566 acts as an inhibitor of the dopamine transporter (DAT) and adenylyl cyclase 2 (AC2). SKF-83566 competitively binds to DAT to inhibit dopamine reuptake and non-competitively inhibits AC2 activity, thereby reducing cAMP accumulation. SKF-83566 is used in research areas such as dopaminergic system mechanisms, learning and memory, targeted intervention for glioblastoma, AC2 pathophysiology, antiparasitic drug screening, and synaptic plasticity (the "gating effect").
