N-n-Propylnorapomorphine (NPA) is anaporphine derivativedopamine agonist closely related toapomorphine.[2][3] In rodents it has been shown to producehyperactivity,stereotypy,hypothermia,antinociception, andpenile erection, among other effects.[4][5][6][7] Notably, its effects onlocomotion arebiphasic, with low doses producing inhibition andcatalepsy and high doses resulting in enhancement of activity.[8] This is likely due to preferential activation ofD2/D3autoreceptors versuspostsynapticreceptors,[9] the latter of which overcomes the former to increase postsynaptic dopaminergic signaling only with high doses.
