Description:

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

Dihydroergotamine Mesylate, also known as DHE or Migranal, is an ergot alkaloid used to treat migraines. It has similar actions to the triptans, acting as an agonist to the serotonin receptors and causing vasoconstriction of the intracranial blood vessels, but also interacts centrally with dopamine and adrenergic receptors.

Product Data
Biological target:
Dihydroergotamine mesylate is an ergot alkaloid used to treat migraines.
In vitro activity:
Knowing that the antimigraine prophylactic effect of DHE (dihydroergotamine) is only observed after long-term treatment, this study chronically exposed the recombinant cells to DHE and 8'-OH-DHE. The number of 5-HT2BR-binding sites was always more affected than 5-HT2CRs. At 5-HT2BRs, 8'-OH-DHE was more effective than DHE, with an uncoupling that persisted for more than 40 h for IP3 or cGMP. Reference: Br J Pharmacol. 2003 Sep;140(2):277-84. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12970106/
In vivo activity:
Administration of DHE (dihydroergotamine) influenced neither the learning processes nor memory in rats. Nevertheless, an increased motor activity of the DHE-administered animals was observed in both the cued and non-cued behavioural tasks.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
