Doxanthrine
Doxanthrine is a synthetic compound that is used in scientific research. It is a full efficacy D1-like receptor agonist.
History[edit | edit source]
Doxanthrine was first synthesized in the late 20th century as part of a research effort to develop drugs that could be used to treat Parkinson's disease. It was found to have a high affinity for D1-like receptors, which are a type of dopamine receptor that is involved in the regulation of motor function and reward.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Doxanthrine is a full efficacy D1-like receptor agonist. This means that it can bind to D1-like receptors and activate them, mimicking the effects of dopamine. It has a high affinity for these receptors, which means that it can bind to them tightly and activate them effectively.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Doxanthrine is primarily used in scientific research. It is often used in studies that aim to understand the role of D1-like receptors in the brain and how they can be targeted to treat diseases like Parkinson's disease.
