Agonist Comments
Non catecholamine agonists, such as methoxamine and amidephrine, have both low affinity and low intrinsic activity at the α1D- adrenoceptor [73]. There are no selective agonists currently available for α1D-AR.
As the endogenous ligand, (-)-adrenaline has intrinsic activity across the adrenoceptor family, but α1D and α2A subtypes have been identified as primary drug targets as the agonist has highest affinity at these isoforms. A range of pEC50 values are given to reflect findings in different studies and across different signalling assays. Potency of agonists is generally higher for intracellular Ca2+ release than for ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In contrast to α1A- and α1B-AR, no agonists act at α1D-AR to cause cAMP generation [86]. In some cases higher potency for ERK1/2 phosphorylation can reflect off target effects of agonists such as oxymetazoline that also activates 5-HT1B receptors endogenously expressed in CHO cells [19]. Clinical uses: α1D-AR are not specific clinical targets although adrenaline and noradrenaline used for shock will activate α1D-AR in blood vessels.

Antagonist Comments
Although cyclazosin does not show selectivity in radioligand binding assays with recombinant α1-ARs, functional selectivity for the α1D-AR is observed in functional assays using isolated tissue measuring affinity for native α1- subtypes [72]. SNAP5089 is >1000-fold and RS-100329 and Ro-70-0004 are both 50-fold selective for α1A-ARs over the α1B- and α1D-AR subtypes [87,113]. BMY-7378 is the only α1D-AR selective antagonist currently available [87] and has some weak partial agonist actions at the α1A, α1B and 5-HT1A receptor [34,86]. Differentiation between neutral antagonists and inverse agonists at the α1D-AR has not been studied extensively. Prazosin, cyclazosin, doxazosin and terazosin are approved drugs that have similar affinity for all α1-AR subtypes. Phenoxybenzamine is an irreversible α1A-AR antagonist used to block the pressor effects of catecholamines prior to surgery for phaeochromocytoma. Labetalol is predominantly a β-AR antagonist but also has some α-AR blocking properties and is considered safe for use in pregnancy to treat eclampsia and pre-eclampsia. It also behaves as a partial agonist in some systems. Clinical uses: α1D-AR are not specific clinical targets however α1-AR antagonists used to treat hypertension and benign prostatic hypertrophy will block α1D-AR in blood vessels.
Allosteric Modulator Comments
Lorazepam and midazolam have been shown to increase the maximum response to phenylephrine in cells expressing the human α1D-AR [112].

Comments:  α1-ARs (all subtypes) can also activate protein Kinase C and mitogen activated protein kinases. Some agonists acting at the α1D-AR can weakly activate adenylate cyclase in the presence of forskolin. α1D-AR couples to adenylate cyclase much less efficiently than either the α1A- or α1B-AR and agonists generally have no effect.

General Comments
α1D-AR message and protein is predominant in human bladder [67]. In bladder tissue from normal rats, only 25% of α1-AR mRNA was of the α1D-subtype; however following bladder obstruction, this percentage increased to 75% [38].
When recombinant α1D-ARs are expressed in fibroblast cell lines, most of the expression is intracellular, as opposed to the cell surface expression of the other α1 subtypes [57].
