PF-592379 is a drug developed by Pfizer which acts as a potent, selective and orally active agonist for the dopamine D₃ receptor, which was under development as a potential medication for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction and male erectile dysfunction but was never marketed.^[1] Unlike some other less selective D₃ agonists, a research study showed that PF-592379 has little misuse potential in animal studies, and so was selected for further development and potentially human clinical trials.^[2]^[3] Development has since been discontinued.^[1]
