- Product Overview:
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}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
