Minaprine dihydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Minaprine dihydrochloride is a brain-penetrant monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Minaprine dihydrochloride also weakly inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Minaprine dihydrochloride reduces intraneuronal dopamine metabolism, lowers striatal homovanillic acid and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid levels, and raises striatal 3-methoxytyramine and 5-hydroxytryptamine levels. Minaprine dihydrochloride exhibits convulsant, antidepressant properties.

Biological Activity
|
AChE |
Minaprine (5×10-4 M) dihydrochloride does not interact with dopaminergic receptors in rat striatal membranes, as it fails to displace [3H]spiperone binding[1].
Minaprine (40-160 μM) dihydrochloride does not alter choline acetyltransferase activity in rat striatal or hippocampal tissue preparations in vitro[2].
Minaprine (40-160 μM) dihydrochloride inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity in rat striatal and hippocampal tissue preparations in vitro[2].
Minaprine dihydrochloride weakly displaces (3H) dexetimide from specific muscarinic receptors in rat striatal homogenates in vitro, with an IC50 of 2×10-4 M[2].

Minaprine (7.5-30 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose or once daily for 10 consecutive days) dihydrochloride dose-dependently increases acetylcholine levels in multiple rat brain regions[2].

- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
