Application

SKF-83959 was used in dopamine signaling studies on eye blinking in monkeys and on phosphorylation of CaMKIIα in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D1 dopamine receptor agonist. Displays antagonist activity in vitro and agonist activity in vivo.
SKF-83959 is an atypical agonist of D1 dopamine receptor and an allosteric modulator of σ-1 receptor on in brain and liver tissues. It has neuroprotective and anti-parkinsonian effects through selective activation of phosphoinositol-linked D1 receptor and promotes migration of cultures astrocytes by ERK1/2 activation. In in vitro studies SKF-83959 exhibits antagonist activity against dopamine D1 receptors coupled to adenylyl cyclase.
