| Bioactivity | KW-6055 is a benzylpyridine derivative and has anti-amnesic activity. |
| In Vivo | KW-6055 is a benzylpyridine derivative and has anti-amnesic activity. KW-6055 (40, 160 mg/kg, p.o.) increases the extracellular level of ACh in normal rats (257±23, 202±24%). In basal forebrain-lesioned rats, KW-6055 (40 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly increases the extracellular level of ACh (251±22%) for more than 2 hr, which is longer than in normal rats[1]. |
