Description
Sonepiprazole hydrochloride (PNU 101387) is a highly selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonist with high affinity for D4 receptors, reported Ki of 10 nM in clonal cell-line assays. It effectively exhibits no measurable binding affinity (Ki >2000 nM) for other dopamine receptor subtypes (D1, D2, D3, D5}, nor does it cross-react with other major neurotransmitter families like noradrenaline, serotonin, or histamine.
Dopamine D4 signaling is relevant to neuropsychiatric pharmacology, reward circuitry and antipsychotic drug discovery. Sonepiprazole is useful for probing D4-selective receptor biology and differentiating D4 effects from D2/D3 pharmacology.
Key Features
- Selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonist
- High-affinity binding to D4 receptors (Ki = 10 nM)
- Ki > 2000 nM at other dopamine receptor subtypes in reported assays
- Useful CNS receptor pharmacology probe
Applications
- D4 receptor binding studies
- Dopaminergic signaling research
- Antipsychotic mechanism studies
- Neuropsychiatric disease model assays
