The benzazepine, SCH 23390, inhibits 3H-NPA binding in mouse brain in vivo.
2009
Abstract: The fact that SCH 23390, a selective dopamine (DA) DI antagonist, blocks the effects of D2 agonists suggests a functional coupling of D1 and D2 receptors. Therefore, the binding of SCH 23390 to D2 receptors was investigated in vivo using 3H-N-n-propylnorapomorphine (NPA), a D2 agonist, and 3H-spiperone and 3H-raclopride, both D2 antagonists. SCH 23390 failed to inhibit 3H-spiperone or 3H-raclopride binding; however, SCH 23390 was relatively potent in inhibiting 3H-NPA binding. These results suggest that (some) antidopaminergic effects of SCH 23390 may result from antagonism of a D2 agonist conformation of the D2 receptor.
