A-68930 is a synthetic compound that acts as a selective dopamine receptor D1 agonist. [1] [2] It is orally active and has antidepressant and anorectic effects in animals, producing wakefulness and tachycardia, [3] [4] [5] [6] but without stimulant effects, instead producing sedation. [7] [8] The difference in effects between A-68930 and other D1 agonists such as SKF-82958 may be due to their differing effects on the related D5 receptor. [9]
