SKF 81297 hydrobromide

SKF 81297 hydrobromide is a selective agonist of the dopamine D1-like receptor, with a Ki value of 1.9 nM. The dopamine D1-like receptors, consisting of D1 and D5 subtypes, are a subfamily of dopamine receptors that mediate excitatory neurotransmission after binding the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine. The dopamine D1-like receptors have been implicated in dopaminergic regulation of a variety of fundamental neurophysiologic processes including mood, motivation, cognitive function, as well as motor activity.
