A-77636 is a synthetic drug which acts as a selective D1 receptor full agonist. [1] It has nootropic, anorectic, rewarding and antiparkinsonian effects in animal studies, [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] but its high potency and long duration of action causes D1 receptor downregulation and tachyphylaxis, [7] [8] [9] and unlike other D1 full agonists such as SKF-82,958, it does not produce place preference in animals. [10] A-77636 partially substituted for cocaine in animal studies, and has been suggested for use as a possible substitute drug in treating addiction, [11] but it is better known for its use in studying the role of D1 receptors in the brain.
