Notes: (±)-2-Amino-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (6,7-ADTN) is a dopamine receptor agonist (EC50s = 3.5 and 0.65 μM in rat striatal and nucleus accumbens homogenates, respectively).{41296} 6,7-ADTN stimulates production of cAMP in rat striatal homogenates, a process that is reduced by 70% in the presence of the dopamine antagonist fluphenazine (Item No. 23555) at a concentration of 1 μM. In vivo, 6,7-ADTN induces hyperlocomotion in rats when injected bilaterally at a dose of 100 nmol per side into the nucleus accumbens. It increases cAMP production and glycoprotein secretion in the albumen gland of H. duryi (snail).{41297} It also reduces sucrose feeding in R. maderae (cockroach) nymphs.{41298}
