| Bioactivity | A-77636 hydrochloride is a potent, orally active, selective and long acting dopamine D1 receptor agonist (pKi=7.40; Ki=39.8 nM) with antiparkinsonian activity. A-77636 hydrochloride is functionally inactive at dopamine D2 receptor[1][2]. |
| In Vivo | A-77636 (0.1-1 mg/kg) exerts a suppressant effect on food intake, due principally to a reduction in meal size and duration[3]. Animal Model: |
