(–)-Stepholidine is a dopamine receptor antagonist and a partial agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT (–)-Stepholidine binds to dopamine D, D, D, D, and D receptors (Ks = 5.1, 11.6, 24, 1,450, and 5.8 nM, respectively) as well as 5-HT, 5-HT, α-adrenergic receptors (α-ARs), and sigma-2 (σ) receptors in a radioligand binding assay (Ks = 143, 226, 215, and 53 nM, respectively). It inhibits dopamine-induced cAMP accumulation in HEK293 cells expressing dopamine D, D, and D receptors with IC values of 20.5, 128, and 27 nM, respectively. (–)-Stepholidine inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production in CHO cells expressing rat 5-HT receptors (EC = 1.2 μM). In vivo, (–)-stepholidine (1 mg/kg, i.v.) increases dopamine neuron firing rates, the number of spikes in bursts, and the amplitude of slow oscillations by 20, 155, and 126%, respectively, in the rat ventral tegmental area (VTA), effects that can be blocked by the 5-HT antagonist WAY-100635 . Pretreatment with (–)-stepholidine inhibits amphetamine- and phencyclidine-induced locomotor activity in rats (EDs = 2.4 and 6.5 mg/kg, respectively).
(–)-Stepholidine is an alkaloid. L-Stepholidine exhibits mixed dopamine D1 receptor agonist and D2 antagonist properties. L-Stepholidine has neuroprotective effect. L-Stepholidine can be used for the researches of neurological disease, such as Parkinson disease, Alzheimer's disease and opiate addiction.

L-Stepholine (2.5-10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection) can inhibit neuronal substance induced relapse without altering spontaneous activity in SD rats.
L-Stepholine (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once daily, for 22 consecutive days) can alleviate levodopa (L-DOPA) induced dyskinesia (LID) in a Parkinson's disease rat model with 6-OHDA injury.
L-Stepholine (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 7-21 consecutive days) can attenuate the maintenance of conditioned place preference (CPP) induced by neural substances in rats.
L-Stepholine (10-20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, administered 30 minutes before morphine injection) can block the reacquisition of conditioned place preference (CPP) induced by morphine in rats.
