Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Apomorphine, also known as APL-130277 and TAK-251, is a dopamine D2 agonist used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Apomorphine also promotes intraneuronal amyloid-β (Aβ) degradation and improves memory function in an Alzheimer's disease model. Protein levels of two types of serine-phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), pS616 and pS636/639, significantly decreased following Apomorphine treatment in the 13-month-old 3xTg-AD mice brain, suggesting improved brain insulin resistance. This product is not available (it is or may be a DEA-controlled substance).

Product Data
Biological target:
(R)-(-)-Apomorphine hydrochloride is a prototypical dopamine agonist.
In vitro activity:
Apomorphine showed a dose-dependent antioxidant effect similar to the findings in the cell viability assay (Fig. 4A). In addition, the GSH levels in fibroblasts of the control and LS patient (LSND3) were measured under BSO treatment. The GSH levels showed a dose-dependent decrease under BSO treatment (Fig. 4B). These data suggested that apomorphine can inhibit the accumulation of ROS and prevent H2O2-induced cytotoxicity as effectively as cellular antioxidant quinones, such as idebenone. Reference: Mitochondrion. 2019 Nov;49:111-120. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31356884/
In vivo activity:
Injection of R-(-)-Apomorphine into the medial shell of the rat nucleus accumbens (for localization of injection sites, see Supplementary Fig. 1B.) increased the emission of frequency modulated (FM) 50-kHz USVs (χ2(3) = 16.7, p < 0.05, n = 10] when compared to saline injection in the same region. There was no difference in the number of emitted flat (F) 50-kHz USVs when comparing R-(-)-apomorphine or saline injection into the same brain region (p > 0.95, n = 10; see Supplementary Fig. 1 and Table 1).
