ABT-724 is a drug which acts as a dopamine agonist, and is selective for the D4 subtype.[1] It was developed as a possible drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction,[2] although poor oral bioavailability means alternative drugs such as ABT-670 may be more likely to be developed commercially.[3] Nonetheless, it continues to be used in scientific research into the function of the D4 receptor.[4][5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
