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 D₂Shautoreceptors on dopaminergic nerve terminals.^[2]^[3]^[4] It causes dopamine release in the brain and has a stimulant effect,^[5]^[6]^[7] as well as blocking the behavioural effects of cocaine.^[8] It may also serve as a 5-HT_2A receptor agonist, based on animal studies.^[9] It was investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of schizophrenia, but unexpectedly caused symptoms to become worse.^[9]

(+)-AJ76[edit]

The N-monopropyl derivative (+)-AJ76 is an active metabolite of UH-232 and has practically identical effects.
