Product Description
Etimizol (Ethymisole; Antiffine; Ethylnorantifein) can effectively treat amnesia caused by hypoxia.
Etimizol (CAS 64-99-3), also known as Ethymisole, Antiffine, or Ethylnorantifein, is a synthetic xanthine-related compound classified as both a respiratory analeptic and a putative nootropic agent. With a molecular formula of C₉H₁₄N₄O₂ and a molecular weight of 210.23 g/mol, Etimizol is a compound with distinct purinergic profile. It was shown to relieve amnesia effectively in conditions where there is a hypoxic component, including hypobaric hypoxia, actinomycin D treatment, and mechanical injury of the brain. Etimizol is a xanthine-related compound that has been studied for its potential cognitive-enhancing and respiratory stimulant effects. It is also known as 1-ethyl-4-N,5-N-dimethylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxamide. The compound is freely soluble in water (391 g/L at 25°C) and has a density of 1.26±0.1 g/cm³.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Etimizol targets potassium channels and other purinergic signaling pathways. As a xanthine-related compound, it may modulate adenosine receptors and phosphodiesterase activity, similar to other xanthine derivatives such as caffeine and theophylline. Its nootropic and respiratory analeptic effects are likely mediated through modulation of neurotransmitter systems and improvement of cerebral circulation. The compound's ability to relieve amnesia in hypoxic conditions suggests that it may protect against hypoxia-induced neuronal damage.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies on Etimizol are limited. As a xanthine-related compound, it may exhibit similar activities to other xanthine derivatives, including adenosine receptor antagonism, phosphodiesterase inhibition, and modulation of calcium homeostasis. The compound's respiratory analeptic effects suggest that it may stimulate respiratory centers in the brainstem. Its nootropic effects suggest that it may enhance cognitive function through modulation of neurotransmitter systems or improvement of cerebral blood flow. Detailed in vitro data are limited.
ln Vivo
The amount of time that elapsed between the commencement of the research and the timidazole (3 mg/kg) injection varied in many series, ranging from 0.5 to 3 hours. Regardless of the biological type of reinforcement or the timing of delivery, etimizol (also known as ethymisole) does not improve learning in rats [1]. The mean residence times of etimizol (Ethymisole) in the circuit were 20.1 and 7.6 minutes, respectively, following the administration of etimizol (Ethymisole) at dosages of 10 or 1 mg/loop, with mean standard deviations of 3.1 and 0.8 [2]. Giant neurons in the isolated nervous system of horned beetles respond differently when 5--10 mM/L etimizol (Ethymisole) is applied extracellularly. These effects include a significant increase in action potential duration, a slowdown in the development of the decline phase, and a significant amplitude of trace hyperpolarization [3].
In vivo, Etimizol has been shown to relieve amnesia effectively in conditions with a hypoxic component, including hypobaric hypoxia, actinomycin D treatment, and mechanical injury of the brain. These findings suggest that Etimizol may have neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing effects. The compound has been studied as a respiratory analeptic and nootropic agent. However, Etimizol is not widely used in current clinical practice and is primarily of research interest.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro non-cell assays for Etimizol are limited. Standard assays for xanthine-related compounds include adenosine receptor binding assays using radiolabeled ligands, phosphodiesterase activity assays, and calcium flux measurements. These assays can be adapted to study Etimizol's mechanism of action, but specific published protocols for this compound are limited.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Etimizol use neuronal cell lines or primary neurons to study its effects on neuronal survival, neurotransmitter release, and signaling pathways. Cells are treated with Etimizol under hypoxic conditions to evaluate its neuroprotective effects. Parameters assessed include cell viability, apoptosis markers, and neurotransmitter levels. However, specific published data for this compound are limited.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Etimizol employ rodent models of hypoxia-induced amnesia, such as hypobaric hypoxia, actinomycin D-induced amnesia, or mechanical brain injury models. The compound is administered orally or intraperitoneally, and cognitive function is assessed using behavioral tests such as the Morris water maze, passive avoidance, or novel object recognition tests. Histological examination of brain tissues may be performed to assess neuroprotection.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Etimizol has a molecular weight of 210.23 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₉H₁₄N₄O₂. It is freely soluble in water at 391 g/L (25°C) and has a density of 1.26±0.1 g/cm³. The compound is also known as Ethymisole, Antiffine, and Ethylnorantifein. It is soluble in DMSO at 10 mM. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters have not been extensively characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Etimizol has not been comprehensively evaluated in published studies. As a xanthine-related compound, it may have a safety profile similar to other xanthine derivatives, which are generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. However, high doses may cause central nervous system stimulation, cardiovascular effects, and gastrointestinal disturbances. The compound is classified as a research reagent and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
