SKF-77,434 is a drug which acts as a selectivedopamineD1receptorpartial agonist, and has stimulant and anorectic effects. Unlike other D1 agonists with higher efficacy such as SKF-81,297 and 6-Br-APB, SKF-77,434 does not maintain self-administration in animal studies, and so has been researched as a potential treatment for cocaine addiction.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
