Neurochemical and neuropharmacological investigations with four ergot derivatives: bromocriptine, dihydroergotoxine, CF 25-397 and CM 29-712.

abstract：:We report that the loop diuretic drugs bumetanide and furosemide used in the treatment of hypertension are GPR35 agonists. We utilized calcium flux, inositol phosphate accumulation, and dynamic redistribution assays to examine the pharmacology of these compounds on the human, mouse and rat GPR35. While potent on human...
