| Bioactivity | Pergolide mesylate (Pergolide methanesulfonate), an Ergoline derivative, is a potent and orally active dopamine D1 and D2 receptors agonist. Pergolide mesylate can be used for Parkinson's disease and hyperprolactinaemia research[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Pergolide (10 nM-50 μM) treatment dose-dependently inhibits H2O2-induced cell death in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Pergolide protects SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells from cell death specifically induced by H2O2, acting in very low concentrations (nanomolar range) and in very early stages of the neurotoxic intracellular process[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
| In Vivo | Pergolide (0.3 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; daily; 11 days) treatment reduces the number of working/reference memory errors a 6-OHDA-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease. Pergolide facilitates spatial memory and improves brain oxidative balance[3] . Animal Model: |
