PNU-99,194(A) (or U-99,194(A)) is a

D2 subtype.[1][2][3] Though it has substantially greater preference for D3 over D2, the latter receptor does still play some role in its effects, as evidenced by the fact that PNU-99,194 weakly stimulates both prolactin secretion and striatal dopamine synthesis, actions it does not share with the more selective (100-fold) D3 receptor antagonists S-14,297 and GR-103,691.[4]

In

Other effects of PNU-99,194 at low doses in rodents include increased

behavioral sensitization,[18][19] and reversal of morphine-induced CPP.[6] At high doses it inhibits the self-administration of cocaine in both rats and monkeys.[1][20]
