Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Dopamine (50 mg/kg; i.p. injection; days 1-7) strongly and selectively inhibits the vascular permeabilizing and angiogenic activities of VPF/VEGF. Animal model: Syngeneic C3Heb/FeJ mice with MOT ascites tumors. Dosage: 50 mg/kg. Administration: i.p. injection; 7 days. Result: Corresponding to ~5% of the median lethal dose (LD50) in mice) beginning at 24 hours after tumor-cell injection and continuing daily for 7 days.

• In Vitro:
  Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF) strongly stimulates human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation. The stimulatory effect of VPF/VEGF is abrogated by Dopamine (1 μM; 24 hours). Cell Proliferation Assay Cell line: HUVECs. Concentration: 1 μM. Incubation time: 24 hours. Result: Inhibited VPF/VEGF-induced HUVEC proliferation specifically through its D2 receptor.
