In vitro
In vitro Piribedil is a direct dopamine receptor agonist used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and of other clinical disorders involving dysfunction of the dopaminergic system. Piribedil has 20 times higher affinity for dopamine D3 than for dopamine D2-like receptors, and very low affinity for the dopamine D1 receptor subtype in rat brain. Piribedil is a potent inhibitor at dopamine D3 receptors with affinity between 30 and 60 nM[1]. Although piribedil is not a potent agent, its affinity at hα2A- and hα2C-ARs was comparable to that at D2 receptors[3].
In Vivo
In vivo Piribedil (2.5-4.0 mg/kg s.c.) accelerates hippocampal NE synthesis, elevates dialysis levels of NE in hippocampus and frontal cortex, and blocks hypnotic-sedative properties of the α2-AR agonist xylazine[3]. Although a subchronic treatment with piribedil (0.1-2 mg/kg) is not effective, a dose of 0.3 mg/kg administered for 3 weeks significantly reverses the akinetic deficits produced by the striatal dopamine depletion and progressively improves attentional deficits. When coadministered with the dopamine prodrug L-DOPA (3 mg/kg), piribedil (0.3 mg/kg) promotes a rapid and full recovery of preoperative performance[2].

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.
