Product Data
Biological target:
Pramipexole dihydrochloride hydrate is a selective and blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrant dopamine D2-type receptor agonist, with Kis of 2.2 nM, 3.9 nM, 0.5 nM and 1.3 nM for D2-type receptor, D2, D3 and D4 receptors, respectively.
In vitro activity:
Pramipexole reduced levodopa-induced THir cell loss in a dose-dependent and saturable fashion (ED50 = 500 pM), its inactive stereoisomer was significantly less potent in this regard and pergolide and bromocriptine had negligible cytoprotective effects. Culture media from mesencephalic cultures incubated with pramipexole for 6 days increased THir cell counts in freshly harvested recipient cultures. The magnitude of this effect was directly proportional to the amount of pramipexole in the donor cultures and heat-inactivation of the media abolished the growth promoting effect. The results from this exploratory set of experiments suggest that pramipexole may be cytoprotective to dopamine neurons in tissue culture.

In vivo activity:
This study examined the possible mitochondrial role of pramipexole in promoting neuroprotection following an ischemic stroke of rat. Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of various proteins such as Bax, Bcl-2 and cytochrome c Pramipexole promoted the neurological recovery as shown by the panel of neurobehavioral tests and TTC staining. Post-stroke treatment with pramipexole reduced levels of mitochondrial ROS and Ca2+ after ischemia. Pramipexole elevated the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Western blotting showed that pramipexole inhibited the transfer of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol, and hence inhibited the mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
