Uses
4,10-Dihydroergocristine Methanesulfonate is an nontoxic and well tolerated drug that exerts agonistic and antagonistic activity on dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors. 4,10-Dihydroergocristine Meth
anesulfonate is known to exhibit protective properties to the brain against metabolic effects of ischemia by acting at a cellular level.
Definition
ChEBI: The methanesulfonic acid salt of dihydroergocristine. It has been used as the for the symptomatic treatment of mental deterioration associated with cerebrovascular insufficiency and in peripheral vascular disease. It is also a component of ergoloid mesylat
(codergocrine mesilate), a mixture of ergot alkaloid derivatives that is used as a vasodilator and has shown mild benefits in the treatment of vascular dementia.
