Bioactivity | Lisuride (maleate) is a potent agonist of dopamine with a probably direct action on dopaminergic receptors. Lisuride (maleate) is an ergot derivative. Lisuride (maleate) releases the premenstrual mastalgia without significant side effects[1][2]. |
In Vivo | Lisuride (maleate) (0.78 and 3.13 mg/kg; i.p.; p.o.) is 3-4 times more potent on i.p. than on p.o. [2].Lisuride (maleate) (0.78-3.13 mg/kg; i.p.) antagonizes the motor depression and hypothermia induced by reserpine[2].Lisuride (maleate) (0.78-3.13 mg/kg; i.p.) is about as effective as apomorphine and D-amphetamine and causes significant hypothermia measured after dosages as low as 0.10 mg/kg i.p.[2].
