Biological Data

Biological description

Prototypic, selective D1-like dopamine receptor partial agonist (Ki values are 1 and ~ 0.5 nM at D1-like receptors (D1 and D5) and ~ 150, ~ 5000 and ~ 1000 nM at D2-like receptors (D2, D3 and D4) respectively). Hydrochloride salt.


SKF 38393 facilitates long term potentiation (LTP) via D1 and D5 activation and has also been shown to presynaptically stimulate glutamate release in the hippocampus.

Additionally activates the HPA axis to increase ACTH and corticosterone levels.

Shows proconvulsant and anorexic effects.

Blood brain barrier permeable.

Active in vivo.


SKF 38393 hydrobromide also available.
