Description

Cabergoline is an ergot derived-dopamine D2-like receptor agonist that has high affinity for D2, D3, and 5-HT2B receptors (Ki=0.7, 1.5, and 1.2, respectively).

D2 Receptor

 

In Vitro

Cabergoline acts as a potent agonist of D2, D3 and 5-HT2B receptors. Pretreatment with Cabergoline inhibits H2O2-induced neuronal cell death in a dose-dependent manner. In the following experiments, 10 μM of Cabergoline is used to investigate its neuroprotective effects. MAP2 staining reveals that Cabergoline significantly suppresses the loss of neurons caused by H2O2 incubation. The detection of apoptotic nuclear condensation suggested that Cabergoline prevents apoptotic cell death following H2O2 exposure[1].

In Vivo

The most significant reduction in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep bout number occurred during the light phase, in which Cabergoline-injected female handled mice has 67.3% less REM sleep bouts (F(1,11)=12.892, P=0.004), although the greatest number in reduction of REM sleep bouts occurr during the dark phase (82.3% fewer REM sleep bouts; F(1,11)=3.667, P=0.082). In male mice, Cabergoline reduces baseline Prolactin (PRL) levels (98.5%; F(1,6)=13.192, P=0.011) from 5.8±1.3 to 0.08 ng/mL within 2 hours of injection. After a 7-day recovery period, PRL levels return to values that are not different from baseline (5.0±0.60 ng/mL; F(1,6)=0.715, P=0.43)[2].

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 (4.61 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 (4.61 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.

Cell Assay
[1]

Primary cortical neurons are prepared. Cabergoline (10 µM; except for experiments of dose-dependency) is applied to cortical cells at DIV 6-7. After 24-hour Cabergoline treatment (except for examination of pretreatment time-dependency of Cabergoline), H2O2 (50 µM; except for the dose-dependency of H2O2) is added. All inhibitors and antagonists, including spiperone, U0126, SB203580, SP600125, AP5, and nifedipine are applied 20 min before Cabergoline or H2O2 addition. L-glutamate is added at DIV 7-8 for cell death induction. Cell survival rate is measured by MTT assay. After the indicated treatment with drugs is completed, culture medium is replaced with 200 µL fresh medium containing 40 µl MTT solution (2.5 mg/mL, diluted in PBS) and cells are incubated at 37°C for 1.5-2.5 hours. Then, 200 µL lysis buffer containing isopropyl alcohol is applied to each well and mixed by pipetting. Each sample is moved to a 96-well plate and its absorbance at 570 nm is measured using an iMark Micro plate leader. Cell survival rate is quantitated by absorbance measurement, because MTT (yellow) is deoxidized to formazan (violet) in proportion to mitochondrial activity[1].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Female and male C57BL/6J mice are used.Cabergoline is dissolved in 100% pharmasolve and then diluted with 20% β-cyclodextrin in water to yield a final concentration of 0.15-0.5 mg/mL Cabergoline. Mice received a 0.3-mg/kg ip injection of Cabergoline or vehicle. All drugs are prepared within 48 hours of experiment and stored at 4°C. Solutions are allowed to reach at room temperature before injection.

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.
