    Product Description

    Pergolide is a potent dopamine D1 and D2 receptor agonist (Kis = 111 and 0.495 nM, respectively, for rat striatal receptors).1 It depresses dopaminergic firing in paralyzed rats (ED50 = <20 μg/kg), an effect that can be reversed by the dopamine D2-selective antagonist spiperone or the dopamine D1-selective antagonist SCH 23390 (Item No. 15631).2 Pergolide (0.025 and 0.05 mg/kg) increases the volume threshold for inducing bladder contraction in a cynomolgus monkey model of Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP.3 It also reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema in adrenalectomized rats (ED50 = 0.4 mg/kg).4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
