Agroclavine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Agroclavine acts as an agonist of the D1-dopamine receptor and α1-adrenergic receptor. Agroclavine enhances the sensitivity of the brain to magnetic fields; it impairs spatial memory without affecting hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP). Agroclavine exerts bidirectional regulatory effects on immune activity: it enhances NK cell activity with low toxicity under normal conditions, while it inhibits NK cell activity and exhibits significant cardiac and hepatic toxicity under stress conditions. Agroclavine can be used for research on neuroelectrophysiology, learning and memory, and immunoregulation.

α1-adrenergic receptor |
Agroclavine exhibits cytostatic activity against L5178y mouse lymphoma cells, with an EC50 value of 6.3 μM[3].
Agroclavine (0.01-0.1 μM) enhances NK cell activity and promotes the production of interleukin-2 and interferon-γ[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Agroclavine (50 μg/kg; i.p.; single dose) alters cortical and hippocampal EEG activity in healthy rats, and potentiates a robust, persistent increase in hippocampal beta2 activity (46.3% above pre-exposure levels) following combined magnetic field exposure[2].
Agroclavine (0.05-0.5 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) at 0.5 mg/kg significantly increases splenic NK cell activity and serum CKMB levels in non-stressed normal male Wistar-Kyoto rats, while the 0.05 mg/kg dose has minimal, non-significant effects on these endpoints[3].

Animal Model:Wistar rats (male, 300-360 g)[2]
-
Dosage:50 μg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; single dose
-
Result:Significantly increased delta (0.5-3.5 Hz) EEG activity in both the cortex and hippocampus during the first 30 minutes post-injection, with a larger effect in the cortex.
Decreased alpha (7.6-12.5 Hz) EEG activity in both the cortex and hippocampus, and decreased beta1 (12.6-17.5 Hz) activity in both regions, with a significantly greater attenuation in the cortex than the hippocampus.
Produced a significant increase in hippocampal beta2 activity, with only a non-significant trend toward increased beta2 activity in the cortex.
Potentiated an immediate, robust increase in hippocampal beta2 (22.5-30.5 Hz) activity relative to pre-exposure levels when combined with CMF exposure starting 1 hour post-injection; this effect persisted throughout the 30-minute post-exposure period, with a 46.3% increase in beta2 activity relative to pre-exposure values.
Did not produce significant changes in cortical EEG in agroclavine-pretreated rats during CMF exposure.

Caused a significant increase in serum ALT at 0.5 mg/kg compared to stressed control rats.
