pEC50 ± SEM values and Emax values at both D3R mediated G protein activation and β-arrestin recruitment assays at time-points ranging from 2–46 min are reported. Bias factors, calculated as described in Section 2, are also reported. The bias factor values ≥ 2.0 are highlighted in orange. Using Sidak’s multiple comparisons tests, statistical significance are reported as ‘*’ representing significance of p < 0.05; ‘**’ of p < 0.01; ‘***’ of p < 0.001 and ‘****’ of p < 0.0001 compared to that of quinpirole.
