Chemical Structure
Ligustrazine
Synonym(s): Chuanxiongzine; Tetramethylpyrazine
- CAS No.: 1124-11-4
- Formula:C8H12N2
- Molecular Weight:136.20
IUPAC Name: 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine
InChIKey: FINHMKGKINIASC-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CC1=C(C)N=C(C)C(C)=N1
Biological Activity: Ligustrazine (Chuanxiongzine) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable alkaloid. It can be isolated from Ligusticum striatum DC. Ligustrazine reduces ROS, upregulates the levels of p-Akt/Akt and p-eNOS/eNOS, and decreases ALT and AST. It inhibits glutamate excitotoxicity, calcium overload, oxidative stress, ischemia-reperfusion injury and atherosclerotic plaque progression, enhances synaptic plasticity, and improves neurological function, cerebral infarct volume and brain water content. Ligustrazine possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, lipid-lowering, endothelial protective and hepatoprotective activities. It can be used in studies related to ischemic stroke, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and atherosclerosis[1][2][3].
