A-69024 is a selective dopamine D1 receptor antagonist which was under development for the treatment of psychotic disorders but was never marketed.[1][2][3] Its route of administration is unknown.[1]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

A-69024 is a selective dopamine D1 receptor antagonist.[3] It shows high affinity for this receptor (Ki = 5.3–12.6 nM) and high selectivity for it over the dopamine D2 receptor (Ki = 1,290–1,320 nM; 102- to 249-fold lower affinity).[3] Conversely, the drug shows very low affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = >10,000 nM).[4][3] On the other hand, it shows some affinity for the α2-adrenergic receptor (Ki = 95.5 nM) but not for the α1-adrenergic receptor (Ki = >1,000 nM).[4]

A-69024 blocks amphetamine- and cocaine-induced hyperlocomotion and apomorphine-induced stereotypy in rodents.[3][5] It does not affect prolactin levels in rodents, unlike dopamine D2 receptor modulators.[3] Along with SCH-23390, it produces aversive effects in rodents, whereas dopamine D2 receptor antagonists like spiperone and levosulpiride do not do so.[6] The drug increases cocaine self-administration in rodents.[7] Along with other dopamine D1 receptor antagonists, A-69024 has been found to block the head-twitch response induced by the serotonergic psychedelic DOI.[4] Similarly, dopamine D2 receptor antagonists were likewise found to block the DOI-induced head-twitch response.[4]

Pharmacokinetics

A-69024 showed poor oral bioavailability of less than 2.5% in rodents.[3] As such, it is instead administered parenterally.[3]

Chemistry

Analogues

Radiolabeled forms of A-69024 have been developed and studied, for instance for potential use in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.[8][9][10][11][12][13]

History

A-69024 was first described in the scientific literature by 1989.[3] It was under development by Abbott Laboratories.[1][2] The drug reached the preclinical research stage of development prior to the discontinuation of its development in 1994.[1][2]
