Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro

Bromocriptine dose-dependently reduces the number of OH radicals. Bromocriptine has a strong scavenging effect on the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide hydroxide signal produced from Fenton's reaction. Bromocriptine also attenuates the stable free radical diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl signal.

In vivo

Bromocriptine (5 mg/kg, i.p., 7 days) completely protects against the decrease in mouse striatal dopamine and its metabolites induced by intraventricular injection of 6-hydroxydopamine after intraperitoneal administration of desipramine. Bromocriptine (2.5 mg/kg, i.p., daily for 3 days) significantly reduces autooxidation of brain homogenates collected from rats. Bromocriptine (12.5 mg/kg) produces mild dyskinesia over the course of the study that is significantly less severe than in the L-dopa-treated group in the MPTP-treated marmoset. Bromocriptine, has a lesser tendency than L-dopa to produce dyskinesia while similarly improving motor performance in drug-naive MPTP-treated marmosets. Bromocriptine (10 μM and 10 mg/kg i.p.) blocks .OH formation caused by MPTP in vitro (20 μM) and in vivo (30 mg/kg i.p.) in mice. Bromocriptine reduces an MPTP-induced increase in the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase in substantia nigra on the seventh day. Bromocriptine blocks MPTP-induced behavioral dysfunction as well as glutathione and dopamine depletion, indicating its potent neuroprotective action.
