Description
Cabergoline, also known as Dostinex, is a potent, selective, and long-lasting dopamine D2 receptor agonist. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, and N,N-dimethylformamide, slightly soluble in acidic solutions and in n-hexane, and insoluble in water. Cabergoline is a dopamine D2-receptor agonist and an ergot derivative that inhibits the secretion of prolactin and growth hormone. It is used in the management of Parkinson's disease and disorders associated with hyperprolactinemia.
Uses
Used in Neurology:
Cabergoline is used as a dopamine D2-receptor agonist for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It helps manage the symptoms of the disease by increasing dopamine levels in the brain.
Used in Endocrinology:
Cabergoline is used as a prolactin inhibitor for the management of hyperprolactinemic disorders, either idiopathic or caused by pituitary adenomas. It effectively reduces prolactin levels, alleviating symptoms associated with hyperprolactinemia.
Used in Obstetrics:
Cabergoline is used as a receptor stimulant for inhibiting puerperal lactation. A single 1 mg dose can effectively prevent lactation for up to 14 days, offering a superior alternative to daily regimen drugs.
Used in Oncology:
Cabergoline is in clinical trials for breast cancer treatment. Its potential application in this field is still under investigation.
Cabergoline is also being studied for its potential use in treating other conditions, such as macroprolactinomas and acromegaly. However, it is essential to note that the uses mentioned above are based on the provided materials, and the actual applications may vary depending on clinical trials, research, and regulatory approvals.
Originator
Kabi Pharmacia (Sweden)
Manufacturing Process
A mixture of 6-(2-propenyl)-8β-carboxy-ergoline and N-(3-
dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethyl carbodiimide in tetrahydrofuran were refluxed,
with stirring and under nitrogen, for 24 h. The resultant solution was
evaporated in vacuo to dryness and the residue taken up with chloroform and 5% sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase was separated, dried over
anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was
chromatographed on silica (eluant chloroform with 1% methanol) to give the
title compound N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-N-((ethylamino)carbonyl)-8β-
carboxamide-6-(2-propenyl)ergoline.
Biological Activity
Selective D 2 -like dopamine receptor agonist (K i values are 0.7, 1.5, 9.0 and 165 nM for D 2 , D 3 , D 4 and D 5 receptors respectively) that also displays high affinity for several serotonin receptor subtypes (K i = 1.2-20.0 nM for 5-HT 1A , 5-HT 1D , 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2B ). Inhibits secretion of prolactin and growth hormone and reverses levodopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinsonian monkeys.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cabergoline, a lysergic acid amide derivative, is a potent dopamine D2 receptor agonist. It also acts on dopamine receptors in lactophilic hypothalamus cells to suppress prolactin production in the pituitary gland. It has been used for monotherapy of Parkinson′s disease in the early phase; combination therapy, together with levodopa and a decarboxylase inhibitor such as carbidopa, in progressive-phase Parkinson′s disease and adjunctive therapy of prolactin-producing pituitary gland tumors (microprolactinomas).
Clinical Use
Endocrine disorders
Adjunct to levodopa (with a decarboxylase inhibitor)
in Parkinson’s disease
Inhibition / suppression of lactation
Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
For dogs, cabergoline may be useful for inducing estrus, treatment
of primary or secondary anestrus, pseudopregnancy, and pregnancy
termination in the second half of pregnancy. Cabergoline may be
useful in treating some cases of pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism
(Cushing’s).
In cats, cabergoline, with or without a prostaglandin, may be useful
for pregnancy termination, particularly earlier in pregnancy.
Preliminary work has been done in psittacines (primarily
Cockatiels) for adjunctive treatment of reproductive-related disorders,
particularly persistent egg laying.
In humans, cabergoline is indicated for the treatment of disorders
associated with hyperprolactenemia or the treatment of Parkinson’s
disease.
in vitro
receptor binding studies have demonstrated that cabergoline has high in vitro selectivity and affinity for the subtype d2 of the dopamine receptor. in rat anterior pituitary cells, the concentration of cabergoline required to inhibit prl secretory activity by 50% were 0.1 nmol/l [1].
in vivo
in various animal models, cabergoline markedly reduced plasma prl levels in vivo after single or multiple doses, and the prl-lowering effects appeared 2 - 8 h after administration lasting for 72 h or longer. in addition, a single dose of cabergoline 0.6 mg/kg to rats, inhibited the serum levels of prl for 6 days significantly [1].

Metabolism
Cabergoline is subject to first-pass metabolism and is
extensively metabolised to several metabolites that do not
appear to contribute to its pharmacological activityCabergoline is mainly eliminated via the faeces (72%); a
small proportion is excreted in the urine (18%).

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 81409-90-7 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 8,1,4,0 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 81409-90:
(7*8)+(6*1)+(5*4)+(4*0)+(3*9)+(2*9)+(1*0)=127
127 % 10 = 7
So 81409-90-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
