Bioactivity Flupirtine Maleate is a brain penetrant, and orally bioavailable, non-opioid and centrally acting analgesic agent. Flupirtine Maleate is an indirect N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist. Neuroprotective properties[1][2].
Invitro Flupirtine (0.1, 1, and 10 mM; 24 hours) significantly reduces the growth and viability of U373 malignant glioma cells with the GI50 of 0.47 mM. Flupirtine has neuroprotective effect of on U373 MG cells[3].Flupirtine Maleate is active at the KCNQ and GABAA channels in the range of 10-30 μM[4] Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line:
In Vivo Flupirtine (5 and 10 mg/kg) induces acute neuroprotection, reduces motor coordination impairment and ameliorates recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA)-induced toxicity[2]. Animal Model:
