Piroheptine Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Piroheptine hydrochloride is an anticholinergic agent to inhibit dopamine uptake. Piroheptine hydrochloride prevents loss of striatal dopamine induced by MPTP (HY-15608). Piroheptine hydrochloride can be used for research in Parkinson[1].

Definition

ChEBI: Piroheptine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of piroheptine. It has a role as an antiparkinson drug and a muscarinic antagonist. It contains a piroheptine(1+).

in vivo

Piroheptine hydrochloride (20 mg/kg; ip; singel dose, 30 min before MPTP injection) suppresses neurotoxicity of MPTP in mice model[1].

Animal Model:Male 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice (20-30 g)[1]
Dosage:20 mg/kg
Administration:IP; 30 min before MPTP injection (10 mg/kg; 4 times with 1 h interval)
Result:Prevented loss of striatal dopamine.
