Alpha-ergocryptine is a component of the ergotoxine complex; it is the main ergot alkaloid of Japanese & South American wid grasses. Alpha-ergocryptine is an agonist at the D2 dopamine receptor. Alpha-ergocryptine effectively decreases intraocular pressure in the alpha-chymotrypsin-induced model of ocular hypertension.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Rats were fed 0, 4, 20, 100 or 500 mg ergocryptine/kg diet for 28-32 days (equal to 0, 0.36, 1.7, 8.9 and 60 mg ergocryptine/kg body weight/day for females and 0, 0.34, 1.4, 6.6 and 44 mg ergocryptine/kg body weight/day for males). It is concluded that in rats fed ergocryptine for 28 days the dose-effect curve is rather steep and that the NOAEL is 4 mg/kg diet.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Bovine vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from the dorsal metatarsal artery were grown in vitro and exposed to five concentrations (10(-6), 10(-8), 10(-9), 10(-11) and 0 M) of alpha-ergocryptine for 48 h. alpha-Ergocryptine stimulated (P < .01) growth at 10(-6) M concentration in growing cultures and at 10(-8) and 10(-9) M concentrations in quiescent cultures.
