Seeman, P., D.E. Grigoriadis, and H.B. Niznik: Selectivity of agonists and antagonists at D2 dopamine receptors compared to D, and S2 receptors. Drug Dev. Res. 9:63-69,
1986.
The common dopamine agonists (dopamine, apomorphine, ADTN, and N-propylnorapomorphine) are not selective for either D, or D2 dopamine receptors, affecting both simultaneously. SK&F 38393 is selective for D,, while bromocriptine and (-)-LY-171555 are selective for D2. The neuroleptic with the highest D2/S2 selectivity is eticlopride with an affinity 3,200-fold higher for the D2 dopamine receptor compared to the S2 serotonin receptor. Such selective neuroleptics may be clinically useful and may also help in measuring the elevated D2 density in vivo by positron emission tomography in the brains of schizophrenics.

Previous studies using a variety of drugs with different affinities for the dopamine (DA) D3 receptor suggested that this receptor is involved in regulating motor activity and hypothermia. However, the in vivo selectivity of many of these compounds has been repeatedly questioned. To examine the prec

L-dopa remains the most common treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, there is considerable interest in D3/D2 receptor agonists such as the novel agent S32504, since they exert antiparkinsonian properties in the absence of dyskinesia. An important question concerns the roles of D2 vs. D3 recept
