CAS#: 726174-00-1

Description: A-381393 is a potent and selective agonist of the dopamine D4 receptor. A-381393 potently bound to membrane from cells expressing recombinant human dopamine D4.4 receptor (Ki=1.5 nM), which was 20-fold higher than that of clozapine (Ki=30.4 nM). A-381393 exhibited highly selective binding for the dopamine D4.4 receptor (>2700-fold) when compared to D1, D2, D3 and D5 dopamine receptors.

Product Data:
Biological target: A-381393 is a brain penetrate dopamine D4 receptor antagonist, with Kis of 1.5, 1.9 and 1.6 nM for human dopamine D4.4, D4.2, and D4.7 receptor, respectively, >2700-fold selectivity over D1, D2, D3 and D5 dopamine receptors.
In vitro activity: A-381393 binds to dopamine D4 receptor with nanomolar affinity (Ki = 1.5 nM), which is comparable with L-745870, and 36-fold higher than clozapine (Ki = 54 nM). A-381393 was more than 4000-fold selective for the dopamine D4 receptors as compared to dopamine D1, D2, D3 and D5 receptors. Reference: Neuropharmacology. 2005 Jul;49(1):112-21. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15992586/
In vivo activity: It has been demonstrated that the dopamine D4 receptor selective agonist PD168077 induces penile erection in conscious rats by centrally mediated mechanisms with an effective dose of 0.3 μmol/kg. To determine if A-381393 would attenuate this effect, the compound was dosed subcutaneously at 30 μmol/kg before administration of PD168077. When the percent incidence of penile erection was examined, PD168077 induced 75% incidence at the efficacious dose. In animals treated with A-381393, this incidence was significantly reduced to 48% (Fig. 7). Reference: Neuropharmacology. 2005 Jul;49(1):112-21. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15992586/
