Nafadotride is a highly potent and competitive dopamine D3 receptor antagonist (D3DR), with efficacy against D2DR and D4DR as well. Nafadotride displayed a high affinity for dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, but a low affinity for doparnine D1 and D4. At dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, the potency was concentrated on the l-enantiomer, which was 7 and 20 times, respectively, more potent than the d-enantiomer. dl-Nafadotride, l-nafadotride and d-nafadotride were 6, 10 and 2 times, respectively, more potent at dopamine D3 than at D2 receptors. As compared to haloperidol, a D 2 receptor preferring antipsychotic, the behavioral profile of nafadotride is characterized by stimulant properties on locomotor activity of rats habituated to their environment occurring at low dosage, i.e. in the range of 1 mg/kg. In contrast, nafadotride exerts typical D 2 receptor blocking responses at much higher dosage: for instance, about 100-fold higher dosages were required to observe extrapyramidal effects like catalepsy.

Sample Use Guides

Rodents: At low dosage (0.1-1 mg/kg), nafadotride increases spontaneous locomotion of habituated rats and climbing behavior of mice, at doses that do not modify striatal homovanillic acid levels. At high dosage (1-100 mg/kg), nafadotride produces catalepsy and antagonizes apomorphine-induced climbing.
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: The dopaminergic profile of nafadotride and its enantiomers was determined by in vitro binding studies using membranes from Chinese Hamster Ovary cells transfected with human dopamine receptor subtype cDNAs.
dl-Nafadotride at concentration of 10 uM was inactive at various receptors, including adrenergic, adenosine, histamine and serotonin receptors, but a significant affinity was initially found for muscariic M1 (Ki value = 1 uM), but not muscarmnic M2 receptors, serotonin 1A (Ki value = 0.1 uM) and sigma site (Ki value = 10 nM). In the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell NG 108-15 transfected with the human dopamine D3 receptor cDNA, l-nafadotride had no effect when tested alone at concentrations up to 1 uM. Nafadotride (up to 0.3 uM) has no effect alone and reversibly antagonized the quinpiroleinduced increase of mitogenesis in dopamine D2 receptor expressing cells.
