Ipidacrine

Introduction

Overview

Overview

Ipidacrine (Neiromidin) is a novel substance synthesized by the National Research Center for Biologically Active Compounds in the Russian Federation. This compound contains the structure of 4-aminopyridine and is structurally very similar to tacrine.[1]

Ipidacrine is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used in memory disorders of different origins.[2][3][4]

Ipidacrine directly stimulates impulse transmission in the CNS and neuromuscular synapses by blocking membrane potassium channels. Neiromidin enhances not only choline, but also adrenaline, serotonin, histamine and oxytocin effects on smooth muscle.[5]
