title: Z1046: a new specific peripheral dopaminergic compound.
abstract: It is well established that peripheral dopamine receptors activation evokes vasodilation and neurohormonal modulation. Z1046 is a potent mixed dopaminergic agonist and is highly selective over adrenergic and serotoninergic (5-HT2) activities. In contrast, dopamine had agonist activities on all adrenergic receptors while it is known that dopexamine has a beta 2 agonist activity and is an inhibitor of the neuronal uptake. As far as fenoldopam is concerned, selective stimulation of D1-like receptors leads to an increase of renin release. In conclusion, Z1046 is a potent and specific drug for dopamine receptors. This profile makes Z1046 different from other dopaminergic agents.
