| Bioactivity | Nizofenone is a neuroprotective agent which protects neurons from death following cerebral ischemia or anoxia. Nizofenone can be used in the research of acute neurological conditions, such as stroke[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Nizofenone (1 and 10 μM) prolongs the action potential duration of guinea-pig papillary muscle and dog Purkinje fibers[3].Nizofenone (30 μM) suppresses the spontaneous activity of dog Purkinje fibers and guinea-pigs S-A node[3].Nizofenone (100 μM) decreases the contractile force of guinea-pig papillary muscle[3].Nizofenone (10 μM) inhibits the peroxidative disintegration of mitochondria (in rat brain mitochondrial suspension)[4]. |
| In Vivo | Nizofenone (3 and 9 mg/kg, i.p., daily) attenuates the chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced cognitive impairments[1].Nizofenone (10 mg/kg i.p.) inhibits ischemia-induced glutamate increase and lactate increase in the hippocampus of rats[2]. Animal Model: |
