• Description: 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine is an experimental drug that acts as a dopamine receptor antagonist. It has been shown to induce neuronal death in the presence of excess dopamine by inhibiting the uptake of dopamine by neurons. The nitrogen atom in position 6 may be involved in binding to the receptor and initiating the conformational change needed for activation. Tetrahydropyridine binds to the D1 and D2 receptors with high affinity, but it does not bind to D4 receptors. Tetrahydropyridine can also inhibit locomotor activity in mice and rats.
