Bioactivity | Vinpocetine (Ethyl apovincaminate) is a derivative of the alkaloid Vincamine that blocks voltage-gated Na+ channels. The IC50 value of Vinpocetine on direct IKK inhibition in the cell-free system is 17.17 μM. Vinpocetine is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor and inhibits NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses by directly targeting IκB kinase complex (IKK), and has been widely used for the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Vinpocetine (5-50 μM; 7 hours; VSMCs, HUVECs, A549 cells and RAW264.7 cells) potently inhibits TNF-α-induced NF-κB-dependent transcriptional activity in a dose-dependent manner with an approximate IC50 value of 25 μM. Vinpocetine do not have a significant effect on cell viability[1].Vinpocetine (50 μM; 7 hours; VSMCs, HUVECs, A549 cells and RAW264.7 cells) potently inhibits TNF-α-induced up-regulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, MCP-1, VCAM-1, ICAM-1and MIP-2 transcripts in several cell types[1].
