How It Works

Cabergoline is a long-acting dopamine D2 receptor agonist that inhibits prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary gland.

Mechanism Steps

1Cabergoline binds to dopamine D2 receptors on lactotroph cells in the anterior pituitary.
2Activation of D2 receptors inhibits adenylyl cyclase, reducing cAMP levels.
3Decreased cAMP leads to reduced prolactin gene transcription and secretion.
