How DAS-431 IV works
DAS-431 IV is a dopamine D1 receptor agonist which is in Phase II evaluation for the treatment of cognitive impairment in the elderly and cocaine addiction and is in development for a broad range of CNS diseases, including schizophrenia. Dopamine D1 receptors are thought to play a role in mediating cognitive processes in the prefrontal cortex, particularly working memory. The number of D1 receptors appears to be decreased in the elderly, chronic addicts, patients with schizophrenia and, possibly, patients with Parkinson's disease and those who have experienced a stroke. DAS-431 directly activates D1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex and may be useful in treating these conditions.
