Apovincaminic acid hydrochloride salt_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Apovincaminic acid hydrochloride salt is an orally active and brain-penetrant main active metabolite of Vinpocetine (VP). Apovincaminic acid hydrochloride salt exerts a neuroprotective type of action[1][2].
In Vivo	Apovincaminic acid (10 mg/kg; i.p. twice daily for 4 days) effectively attenuates the behavioral deficits, and significantly decreases lesion size and the region of microglia activation[1].Apovincaminic acid (10 mg/kg; p.o.) is absorbed 50% of the dose comparing with i.v. administration in rats[2].
