NCIt definition : A semisynthetic, ergot alkaloid with antiparkinson and lactation inhibitory activities.
Bromocriptine selectively binds to and activates the postsynaptic dopamine D2-like
receptors in the corpus striatum of the central nervous system (CNS). D2-like receptors
are coupled to inhibitory G-proteins, which inhibit adenylyl cyclase, thereby preventing
signal transduction mediated via cAMP and leading to an inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.
This improves Parkinson symptoms, such as dyskinesia. Bromocriptine also has an inhibitory
effect on the anterior pituitary gland, which results in blockage of prolactin secretion,
thereby suppressing lactation.;
