Abstract

A series of l-phenyl-3-amino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalenes (l-pheny1-3-aminotetralins, PATs) previously was found to stimulate tyrosine hydroxylase activity and dopamine synthesis in rat brain through interaction with a novel u3 receptor. Specifically, the trans-lR, BS-(-) isomer of H2-PAT showed highest affinity for 03 receptors and also produced maximal stimulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity and dopamine synthesis, as compared to the ...
