SCH-23390 is a potent and selective antagonist of the dopamine-1 and dopamine-5 receptors (Ki = 0.2 and 0.3 nM respectively). It was found to prevent death from d-amphetamine overdose in rats and has also been investigated as a potential treatment for Parkinson's Disease and Bipolar Disorder. A single clinical trial was conducted in healthy humans where SCH-23390 induced akathisia (motor restlessness). Preclinical and clinical trials as therapeutic have been discontinued due to side-effects and lack of efficacy. However, it should be noted that a C11 radiolabeled version of the compound has been synthesized and used as a PET imaging probe for the study of Parkinson's Disease and Huntington's Disease.

Sample Use Guides

SCH-23390 was tested in four healthy subjects at doses of 310–810 micrograms delivered intravenously. SCH-23390 induced akathisia at the three highest doses.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Rat brain striatal slices were preincubated with [3H]GABA and superfused in the presence of the GABA transport inhibitor nipecotic and GABA aminotransferase inhibitor aminooxyacetic acids. GABA efflux was estimated by monitoring the efflux of [3H]GABA. The overflow of GABA evoked by electrical field stimulation was blocked by 0.5 - 10 microM of SCH 23390.
