Apovincaminic acid
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Apovincaminic acid is the major metabolite of Vinpocetine (HY-13295), with blood-brain barrier permeability and oral activity. Apovincaminic acid is detectable in the plasma of pregnant rabbits after oral administration of Vinpocetine. Apovincaminic acid is absorbable from all segments of the gastrointestinal tract of Norway rat, with the stomach as the primary absorption site, and is excreted via urine and feces. Apovincaminic acid is used in the research of cerebrovascular diseases.

Biological Activity
Apovincaminic acid is the major metabolite of Vinpocetine (HY-13295), a vinca alkaloid derivative that blocks Na+ channels. Vinpocetine inhibits IKK with an IC50 value of 17.17 μM. Vinpocetine also acts as a PDE inhibitor and suppresses NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses by directly targeting IKK[1][2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Apovincaminic acid (0.148 μCi, 10 mg/kg; direct injection into ligated gastrointestinal segments, i.v., p.o.; 1 hour, 72 hours) is absorbed from all tested segments of the Rattus norvegicus gastrointestinal tract (with notable uptake in stomach and jejunum walls), with approximately 50% of an oral dose absorbed, and is excreted primarily in urine after i.v. administration and in faeces after oral administration[2].
