In Vitro

Bromocriptine stimulates [35S]-GTPγS binding at D2 dopamine receptor expressed in CHO cells with pEC50 of 8.15±0.05[1]. Bromocriptine also is a strong inhibitor of brain nitric oxide synthase. The ergot alkaloid Bromocriptine (BKT) is found to act as a strong inhibitor of purified neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (IC50=10±2 μM) whereas it is poorly active towards inducible macrophage NOS (IC50>100 μM) [2]. Bromocriptine is found to inhibit the activity of at least one human cytochrome P450 enzyme. Bromocriptine is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 with a calculated IC50 value for the interaction of 1.69 μM[3].

In Vivo

Bromocriptine mesylate (2 mg/kg, i.p.) is administered for 7 days in groups of mice in forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST). Bromocriptine group shows significant anti-immobility action as compared to control. When Bromocriptine administered 30 min after the last dose of 7 days MPE treatment and subjected to FST, this dopaminergic agonist produces significant and dose dependent potentiation of anti-immobility action of MPE (200 mg/kg, p.o.) as compared to MPE treatment alone. Bromocriptine treatment group shows a significant reduction of immobility time as compared to control. Bromocriptine administration after 7 days pretreatment with MPE (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) shows significant and dose dependent potentiation of anti-immobility action of MPE as compared to MPE treatment alone[4]. Intracisternal administration of Bromocriptine decreases significantly the static mechanical allodynia (SMA) score compared to that of sham (saline-injected rats) and its effect lasted for 30 min. Intraperitoneal administration of Bromocriptine induces a significant, dose dependent (0.1 mg and 1 mg/kg) decrease in pain scores in CCI-IoN group when compared to sham and its effect lasted for 6 h. The highest dose induces the highest score decrease (P<0.01). Bromocriptine effect lasts for 20 min. Intraperitoneal administration of Bromocriptine induces a significant dose dependent decrease in SMA score in CCI-IoN+6-OHDA lesioned group compared to that of sham. Its effect lasts for 6 h[5].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.77 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.77 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Kinase Assay
[1]

The [35S]-GTPγS binding assay is carried out. Cell membranes (25 ±75 ug) are incubated in Buffer B containing 0.1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) and 1 uM GDP and drugs in a volume of 0.9 mL for 30 min at 30°C. This preincubation ensures that the agonists tested are at equilibrium when the [35S]-GTPγS (50±150 pM, final concentration) is added (in 100 uL of Buffer B) to initiate the reaction. The assay mixture is incubated for a further 20 min unless otherwise stated. The assays are terminated by rapid filtration and bound radio-activity determined as described for the radio-ligand binding assays above. The total binding of [35S]-GTPγS is less than 20% of that added[1].

Animal Administration
[4][5]

Mice[4]
Swiss mice (20-25 g) of either sex (total 150) are used. Bromocriptine mesylate is used as dopamine receptor (D2) agonist. Haloperidol is diluted in distilled water which is used for a vehicle of injection. Bromocriptine mesylate is dissolved in one drop of glacial acetic acid and made up to volume in distilled water. Imipramine is dissolved in 0.9% normal saline. Haloperidol (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) and Bromocriptine mesylate (2 mg/kg, i.p.) are administered for 7 days in groups of mice in Forced Swimming Test (FST) and Tail Suspension Test (TST). Imipramine (10 mg/kg, p.o.) as a standard is administered in positive control groups for 7 days.
Rats[5]
Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (N=112, 275-325 g) are used. Two weeks after the 6-OHDA injection, the animals are briefly (<3 min) anesthetized with 2 % halothane using a mask and received for intracisternal administration Bromocriptine (7 μg/kg dissolved in 5 μL vehicle) or the vehicle alone (5 μL of 0.9 % saline). For i.p. injection we used Bromocriptine (1 mg/kg) and SKF81297 (3 mg/kg dissolved in 0.9 % saline) concentrations. Following a recovery period (<2 min), the rats are placed in the observation field for 40 min period-test by a blind-experimenter.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
