The role of D-1 and D-2 receptors

Abstract: Dopamine receptors in intracerebral motor and endocrine systems have been divided into two main types, D-1 and D-2, dependent on the presence or absence of adenylate cyclase linkage. Here we have investigated a number of dopamine agonist and antagonist drugs in man that have different actions on D-1 and D-2 receptors in animals. Motor and endocrine effects in parkinsonian subjects seem to depend on drug interaction with D-2, but not D-1, receptors. These results may have important implications for the design o… Show more

“…It seems worth mentioning here that subsets of'classi cal' receptors have been described and are now commonly accepted: (3,-and (^-adrener gic receptors [56,61]; a r and a2-adrencrgic receptors [17a. 48] and D,-and D>-dopamine receptors [54,73]. Other subclassifications were, so far, only hypothesized like those of the muscarinic receptors [7,44] and the opioid receptors [58.…”

“…Thus, the therapeutic efficacy of an antipsychotic drug correlates with its antagonist affinity for the D2 receptor (3). Similarly, the motor, endocrine, and antiparkinsonian effects of ergot derivatives, such as bromocryptine, are believed to result from stimulation of D2 receptors (4). Recent studies, however, suggest that D1 receptors in the brain may have important functions.…”
