UH-232 ((+)-UH232) is a drug which acts as a subtype selective mixed agonist-antagonist for dopamine receptors, acting as a weak partial agonist at the D3 subtype,[1] and an antagonist at D2Sh autoreceptors on dopaminergic nerve terminals.[2][3] This causes dopamine release in the brain and has a stimulant effect,[4][5][6] as well as blocking the behavioural effects of cocaine.[7] It was trialled for the treatment of schizophrenia but unexpectedly caused symptoms to become worse.[8]
