Vinpocetine Description
Vinpocetine is a semi-synthetic alkaloid commonly used as an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1), blocking the hydrolysis of both cAMP and cGMP. In addition to its use as a selective PDE1 inhibitor in basic research, vinpocetine has diverse cerebral and neurological effects in vivo. Vinpocetine also directly inhibits the kinase activity of IKKβ and blocks TNF-α- and LPS-mediated activation of NF-κB in cells and in vivo. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) provides customers with high-quality vinpocetine at a very competitive price.
Vinpocetine is a partially synthesized supplement created from vincamine, which is derived from the seeds of the periwinkle plant.
