Description: SKF-38393, also known as (+/-)-SKF-38393, is a synthetic compound of the benzazepine chemical class which acts as a selective D1/D5 receptor partial agonist. It has stimulant and anorectic effects. SKF-38393 improves temporal order memory performance in maternally deprived rats. SKF-38393 reverses cocaine-conditioned place preference in mice. SKF-38393 induces GAP-43 expression and long-term potentiation in hippocampus in vivo.

Product Data:
Biological target: SKF-38393 HBr is a partial agonist of the dopamine D1-like receptors D1 and D5 (Kis = 1 and ~0.5 nM, respectively). It less potently binds D2, D3, and D4 receptors (Kis = ~150, 5,000, and 1,000 nM, respectively).
In vitro activity: This study implies that SKF-38393 selectively inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells, highlighting its potential as a targeted therapeutic agent for this specific breast cancer cell line. After 1 day, various breast cancer cell lines were exposed to SKF-38393 for 2 days. The results indicated that SKF-38393 caused a significant decrease in proliferation of MCF-7 cells. The IC50 value was 0.1 +/- 0.03 microM. There was no significant effect on MDA-MB231 and MCF-10 cells. Reference: Anticancer Drugs. 1995 Jun;6(3):471-4. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7670147/
In vivo activity: SKF-38393 has neurotoxic effects on dopaminergic neurons by activating of the sustained ERK-Bad-Bax system. In a rat model of Parkinson's disease, SKF-38393 administration for 8 weeks induced phosphorylation of sustained ERK1/2 and Bad at Ser155 (BadSer155), and augmented Bax expression. However, SKF-38393 only increased Bad phosphorylation at Ser112 (BadSer112) when administered for 4 weeks.
