Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel dopamine receptor (D3) as a target for neuroleptics

Abstract: A dopamine receptor has been characterized which differs in its pharmacology and signalling system from the D1 or D2 receptor and represents both an autoreceptor and a postsynaptic receptor. The D3 receptor is localized to limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional and endocrine functions. It seems to mediate some of the effects of antipsychotic drugs and drugs used against Parkinson's disease, that were previously thought to interact only with D2 receptors.

“…Our data indicate, however, that OPC-14597 binds with highest affinity to D 2L or D 2S receptors, and it is known that this receptor type is expressed as both autoreceptors on dopamine cells and as postsynaptic receptors on target cells (Giros et al 1989;Rao et al 1990;Snyder et al 1991). Although the involvement of D 3 receptors cannot be ruled out at present, they also do not seem to have an exclusive pre-or postsynaptic localization (Sokoloff et al 1990;Diaz et al 1995). Not enough is known of their functional properties in native tissues to allow speculation concerning their role in the unusual functional effects of OPC-14597.…”

“…Despite this, it is unclear what molecular mechanism(s) might make a drug atypical (see Arnt and Skarsfeldt 1998). Some of the more generally accepted mechanisms include concomitant D 2 ր5-HT 2 receptor antagonist activity (Meltzer 1991) or selectivity for the D 3 or D 4 receptor (Sokoloff et al 1990;. In addition, it has been hypothesized that effective antipsychotic action may be caused by occupation of one of several types of noradrenergic receptors, although this is less well understood (Cohen and Lipinski 1986;Van Kammen et al 1990).…”

“…17,30 Identification of compounds that bind selectively to either the D2 or D3 dopamine receptor has been a difficult task because of this high degree of sequence homology, especially within the helical transmembrane spanning regions. 20 However, we have reported studies on the development of both D2 26,27 and D3 dopamine receptor subtype selective compounds, with varying intrinsic activity.…”
