| Bioactivity | Dihydrexidine (DAR-0100) is a high potent, selective and full efficacy D1-like dopamine receptor (D1/D5) agonist with an IC50 of 10 nM for D1 receptor. Dihydrexidine exhibits potent antiparkinsonian activity[1][2][3][4]. Dihydrexidine can stimulate YAP phosphorylation[5]. |
| Target | IC50: 10 nM (D1 dopamine receptor), D5 dopamine receptor, 660 nM (D1 dopamine receptor) |
| Invitro | Dihydrexidine (DAR-0100) strongly increased YAP phosphorylation in U2OS cells[5]. |
| In Vivo | Dihydrexidine has poor oral bioavailability and a relatively short half-life of 1 to 2 h[3].Dihydrexidine (3 mg/kg; i.p.) produces prominent dopamine D1 receptor agonist effects in vivo[4]. Animal Model: |
