Application

(±)-Sulpiride was used to study the effect of dopamine D2 receptor signaling on calcium channels in rat pituitary melanotropic cells.47

Biochem/physiol Actions

(±)-Sulpiride is a D2 dopamine antagonist and an effective treatment for schizophrenia when used in combination with clozapine, a relatively weak D2-dopaminergic antagonist. It is an antipsychotic agent and also exhibits neuroleptic properties but poorly penetrates the central nervous system.45,46

We hypothesised that a combined regimen of clozapine, a relatively weak D2-dopaminergic antagonist, and sulpiride, a selective D2 blocker, would demonstrate a greater antipsychotic efficacy by enhancing the D2 blockade of clozapine.

An approach for designing bioreductive, hypoxia-activatable carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors targeting the tumor-associated isoforms is reported. Sulfonamides incorporating 3,3'-dithiodipropionamide/2,2'-dithiodibenzamido moieties were prepared and reduced enzymatically/chemically in conditions present in hypoxic tumors, leading to thiols. The X-ray crystal structure

Dopamine (DA) is a well-studied neurochemical in the mammalian carotid body (CB), a chemosensory organ involved in O2 and CO2/H+ homeostasis. DA released from receptor (type I) cells during chemostimulation is predominantly inhibitory, acting via pre- and post-synaptic dopamine D2
