Dihydro-alpha-ergocryptine is an ergot alkaloid that has an agonist activity on D2 dopaminergic receptors and a partial agonist activity on D1 receptors. It also demonstrated antagonistic activity towards alpha-adrenergic receptors. The drug was approved by FDA in combination with other alkaloids (dihydroergocornine, dihydroergocristine and dihydro-beta-ergocryptine mesylate salts) under the name Hydergine for the treatment of dimentia and cerebrovascular insufficiency.

Sample Use Guides
The recommended dosage (in form of hydergine tablets containing dihydroergocornine, dihydroergocristine, dihydro-alpha-ergocryptine and dihydro-beta-ergocryptine mesylate salts in an approximate weight ratio of 1:1:1) in the US is 1 mg three times daily. In Europe and Japan, up to 12 mg of hydergine daily have been used without serious adverse effects.
Route of Administration:
Oral
Primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells were exposed to toxic concentrations (100 uM) of glutamate in Mg2+-free buffer. Repeated addition of dihydro-alpha-ergocryptine (100 nM-1 uM, once a day from the second day in culture, last addition 3 hr before the glutamate pulse) protected cerebellar granule cells against the toxic action of glutamate.
