Non-ergoline dopamine receptor agonists have higher binding affinity to dopamine D 3-receptors than dopamine D 2-receptors. This binding affinity is related to D 2 and D 3 receptor homology, the homology between them has a high degree of sequence and is closest in their transmembrane domains, were they share around 75% of the amino acid.

Dopamine receptor D 2, also known as D 2 R, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the DRD2 gene.After work from Paul Greengard's lab had suggested that dopamine receptors were the site of action of antipsychotic drugs, several groups, including those of Solomon H. Snyder and Philip Seeman used a radiolabeled antipsychotic drug to identify what is now known as the dopamine D 2 receptor. [5]
Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and are implicated in many neurological processes, including motivational and incentive salience, cognition, memory, learning, and fine motor control, as well as modulation of neuroendocrine signaling.
The D 1 and D 5 receptors are members of the D 1-like family of dopamine receptors, whereas the D 2, D 3 and D 4 receptors are members of the D 2-like family. There is also some evidence that suggests the existence of possible D 6 and D 7 dopamine receptors, but such receptors have not been conclusively identified.
OSU-6162 (PNU-96391) is a compound which acts as a partial agonist at both dopamine D 2 receptors and 5-HT 2A receptors.It acts as a dopamine stabilizer in a similar manner to the closely related drug pridopidine, and has antipsychotic, anti-addictive and anti-Parkinsonian effects in animal studies.
Cabergoline is a long-acting dopamine D 2 receptor agonist. In-vitro rat studies show a direct inhibitory effect of cabergoline on the prolactin secretion in the lactotroph cells of the pituitary gland and cabergoline decreases serum prolactin levels in reserpinized rats.
Bromocriptine is a partial agonist of the dopamine D 2 receptor. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] It also interacts with other dopamine receptors and with various serotonin and adrenergic receptors . [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 24 ] Bromocriptine has additionally been found to inhibit the release of glutamate by reversing the GLT1 glutamate transporter .
The D 2-like receptors [1] are a subfamily of dopamine receptors that bind the endogenous neurotransmitter dopamine. The D 2-like subfamily consists of three G-protein coupled receptors that are coupled to G i /G o and mediate inhibitory neurotransmission, of which include D 2, D 3, and D 4.
