Chemistry:RU-24213

From HandWiki

RU-24213, also known as 3-hydroxy-N-propyl-N-(phenylethyl)phenethylamine, is a dopamine receptor agonist of the phenethylamine family related to dopamine.[1][2][3] It is a selective dopamine D2-like receptor agonist.[1][3] Subsequently, however, RU-24213 was found to also act as a potent κ-opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist.[2][4] It led to the development of the diphenylethylamine series of KOR ligands.[4][5] RU-24213 was first described in the scientific literature in 1978.[4][6]
