Bromocriptine mesylate
Bromocriptine Mesylate is a potent, selective D2-like dopamine receptor agonist with pKi of 8.05±0.2. Depending on the D2-like dopamine receptor of the target tissue that Bromocriptine Mesylate binds to, it can decrease metabolic processes leading to glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, inhibit the release of pituitary prolactin, and stimulate motor activity in Parkinson's disease. Bromocriptine Mesylate has been approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes, pituitary prolactinomas, acromegaly and Parkinson's disease.?

Shipping Condition | Small Molecules with Blue Ice, Modified Nucleotides with Dry Ice. |
General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment:[3] | |
Cell lines |
Drug-sensitive (CCRF-CEM, HEK293, and MDA-MB-231-pcDNA3) and multidrug-resistant cell lines (CEM/ADR5000, HEK293-ABCB5, and MDA-MB-231-BCRP) |
Reaction Conditions |
72 h incubation |
Applications |
Bromocriptine inhibited drug-sensitive CCRF-CEM and multidrug-resistant CEM/ADR5000 leukemic cells with IC50 values of 10.13 and 11.78 μM, respectively. Bromocriptine also showed cytotoxic effects toward wild-type or multidrug-resistant ABCB5-transfected HEK293 cell lines, but not sensitive for BCRP-transfected multidrug-resistant MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Bromocriptine inhibited drug-resistant tumor cells with different resistance mechanisms in a hormone-independent manner. |
Animal experiment:[4] | |
Animal models |
Alloxan induced diabetic rats |
Dosage form |
4 mg/kg body wt Once daily by oral route for 30 consecutive days |
Applications |
Bromocriptine (4 mg/kg), which was used alone, lowered the blood glucose levels appreciably, whereas the concomitant administration of Bromocriptine (2 mg/kg) and Glipizide (1.25 mg/kg) in sub therapeutic doses produced a much more appreciable reduction. Hence, Bromocriptine may serve as a valuable adjunct to available anti-diabetic medication. |
