5-OH-DPAT is a synthetic compound that acts as a dopamine receptoragonist with selectivity for the D2 receptor and D3 receptor subtypes.[1][2] Only the (S)-enantiomer is active as an agonist, with the (R)-enantiomer being a weak antagonist at D2 receptors.[3]Radiolabelled11C-5-OH-DPAT is used as an agonist radioligand for mapping the distribution and function of D2 and D3 receptors in the brain,[4][5] and the drug is also being studied in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[6][needs update]
