Product Description: Ipidacrine is orally active and brain-penetrant AChE and BuChE inhibitors with IC50 values of 1 μM and 1.9 μM, respectively, which is also a partial agonist of M2-cholinergic receptors and a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor. Ipidacrine has a stimulating effect on neuromuscular transmission and excitation along the nerve fibres with a moderately anti-pain effect. Ipidacrine is an aminopyridines and is structurally similar to Tacrine (HY-111338). Ipidacrine is effective in various amnesia models, improves erectile function and inhibits K+ and Na+-channels in the neuronal membrane in diabetic rats. Ipidacrine is promising for research of Alzheimer’s disease, ischaemic stroke, idiopathic neuropathy of the facial nerve, diabetes mellitus-induced erectile dysfunction and other deficits in central or peripheral cholinergic deseases[1][2][3][4][5].
