Cabergoline-d6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of cabergoline (Item No. 23934) by GC- or LC-MS. Cabergoline is a dopamine D2 receptor agonist (Ki = 0.912 nM in rat striatal homogenates).1 It is selective for dopamine D2 over D1 receptors (Ki = 6,935 nM). Cabergoline inhibits prolactin secretion in, and growth of, isolated rat pituitary tumor cells in a concentration-dependent manner, an effect that can be blocked by the dopamine D2 receptor antagonist haloperidol (Item No. 12014).2 Cabergoline reduces phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and induces the formation of LC3 puncta, a marker of autophagy, and apoptosis in MMQ rat pituitary cells.3 In vivo, cabergoline (0.25 mg/kg) stimulates motor activity and decreases dyskinesias in a cynomolgus monkey model of Parkinson's disease induced by MPTP.4 Formulations containing cabergoline have been used in the treatment of prolactinomas.
