Linopirdine is an enhancer of the stimulus-evoked but not basal release of several neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate. It increases acetylcholine release in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons by blocking voltage-gated, calcium-activated and leak (M-type; Kv7.2/7.3; KCNQ2/3) K+ current with an IC50 value of 2.4 µM.{31443,31441} Inhibition of M-channels is reported to result in the depolarization of CA3 pyramidal neurons and activated presynaptic voltage-gated P/Q- and N-type calcium channels, which leads to Ca2+ influx and increased neurotransmitter release.{31444} Linopirdine has been shown to produce a number of effects including EEG patterns of enhanced vigilance, induction of c-fos expression in cerebral cortex, reduction of the increase of cerebral glucose utilization induced by hypoxia, and improved performance in animal models of learning and memory.{31445} Linopirdine has also been identified as an agonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (EC50 = 115 µM in HEK293 cells voltage clamped at -60 mV).{31442}
