SKF83959 is a benzodiazepine derivative which acts as an agonist of D1 receptor. Activation of D1 receptors by SKF83959 fails to stimulate adenylyl cyclase and inhibits the stimulation of adenylyl cyclase induced by dopamine but stimulates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate hydrolysis in membranes of frontal cortex. SKF83959 was identified as a specific agonist for the heteromer D1/D2 complex. SKF83959 elicit anti-parkinsonism effects in monkeys and rodents. In lower concentrations, SKF83959 inhibits serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine transporters and is an allosteric regulator of sigma 1 receptor. The compound has demonstrated activity in a preclinical model of depression.

Sample Use Guides
In a rat model of Parkinson's disease, SKF83959 was administered intraperitoneally at 0.5 mg/kg.
Route of Administration:
Intraperitoneal
[3H]SCH 23390 (72-80 Ci/mmol) was used as a radioligand to label dopamine D1 receptor. Rat striatal membranes were isolated in 50 mM K-phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 by homogenization and centrifugation. Membrane suspensions were incubated with 0.2 nM [3H]SCH23390 in a volume of 2.2 ml (1 mg original tissue) at 30°C for 60 min. After incubation, the samples were filtered through Whatman GF/F filters. Specific binding was defined as the difference in radioactivity obtained in the absence and the presence of 0.1 uM of cis(Z)-flupentixol. SKF83959 displaced [3H]SCH 23390 with IC50 of 0.66 nM.
