Chemical compound

This article is about the dopamine D1 receptor agonist. For the amphetamine derivative, see 6-APB.

6-Br-APB is a synthetic compound that acts as a selective D1 agonist,[1] with the (R)-enantiomer being a potent full agonist, while the (S) enantiomer retains its D1 selectivity but is a weak partial agonist.[2] (R)-6-Br-APB and similar D1-selective full agonists like SKF-81,297 and SKF-82,958 produce characteristic anorectic effects, stereotyped behaviour and self-administration in animals, with a similar but not identical profile to that of dopaminergic stimulants such as amphetamine.[3][4][5]
