MedKoo CAT#: 326984

CAS#: 350992-13-1 (mesylate)

Description: Bifeprunox, also known as DU-127090, is a partial dopamine and serotonin agonist potentially for the treatment of schizophrenia. Bifeprunox influences nicotine-seeking behaviour in response to drug-associated stimuli in rats. Bifeprunox suppresses in vivo VTA dopaminergic neuronal activity via D2 and not D3 dopamine autoreceptor activation.

Product Data:
Biological target: TBD
In vitro activity: TBD
In vivo activity: Different groups of experimentally naïve, food-restricted Wistar rats were trained to associate a discriminative stimulus with response-contingent availability of nicotine or sucrose and tested for reinstatement after extinction of nicotine or sucrose-reinforced behaviour. Bifeprunox (4-16 µg/kg, s.c.) dose-dependently attenuated the response-reinstating effects of nicotine-associated cues. Higher doses (64-250 µg/kg, s.c.) reduced spontaneous locomotor activity and suppressed operant responding induced by sucrose-associated cues and by the primary reinforcing properties of nicotine or sucrose.
