Product Description

Vinpocetine (formerly RGH-4405; AY-27,255; AY27,255, RGH4405, TCV-3B, Cavinton, Intelectol; Ethyl apovincaminate) is a synthetic derivative of the vinca alkaloid vincamine which is a natural product extracted from either the seeds of Voacanga africana or the leaves of Vinca minor as well as the lesser periwinkle plant. It is a selective voltage-sensitive sodium channel blocker for the treatment of stroke, vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Vinpocetine has been reported to have a selective and noncompetitive inhibition of Ca2+ PDE and thus regulate cyclic GMP levels in smooth muscle. In addition, vinpocetine has been revealed to inhibit the activities of three resolvable PDE in the cytosol of rat aorta with Ki values of 14±2μM, >1000μM and >1000μM for Ca2+ PDE(+)CaM, cGMP PDE and cAMP PDE, respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Vinpocetine (5-50 μM; 7 hours; VSMC, HUVEC, A549 cells, and RAW264.7 cells) potently suppresses TNF-α-induced NF-κB-dependent transcriptional activity in a dose-dependent manner, with an approximate IC50 value of 25 μM. Vinpocetine has no substantial effect on cell viability [1]. Vinpocetine (50 μM; 7 hours; VSMC, HUVEC, A549 cells, and RAW264.7 cells) substantially suppresses TNF-α-induced TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, MCP-1, VCAM- in different cell types 1. Upregulation of ICAM-1 and MIP-2 transcripts [1].
ln Vivo
In mouse models of α- or LPS-induced lung inflammation, vinpocetine (2.5–10 mg/kg; i.p.; C57BL/6 mice) effectively reduces TNF–Interstitial infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and inhibits the upregulation of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and MIP-2 [1].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
