Description and Uses
Bromopride is a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist (Ki = 14 nM). It binds to bovine anterior pituitary membranes with an IC50 value of 2.13 μM. Bromopride inhibits cholinesterase activity in vitro in rat plasma and striatum homogenate (IC50s = 67.8 and 38.4 μM, respectively). It increases serum prolactin levels in rats by 100% when used at a dose of 0.02 mol/kg. Bromopride (2.5 mg/kg) decreases locomotion and rearing in an open field test and impairs acquistion, but not retention, of a conditioned avoidance response in a two-way active conditioned avoidance test in rats.
An antiemetic.Bromopride is used in method and a system for analyzing neuropharmacology of a drug.
