Piroheptine
Piroheptine is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonist and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Piroheptine blocks the high-affinity dopamine transport system, prevents MPP+ uptake into dopaminergic neurons, and exerts anticholinergic activity. Piroheptine completely prevents MPTP (HY-W114750)-induced loss of striatal dopamine and DOPAC, and increases striatal dopamine levels. Piroheptine can be used in studies related to Parkinson's disease.

In Vivo
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:C57BL/6J (male, 8-week-old, 20-30 g, Parkinsonism induced via 4 intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg/kg MPTP at 1-hour intervals)[1]
-
Dosage:20 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; 30 minutes before each of 4 MPTP injections (1 hour apart); single treatment (piroheptine-alone group)
-
Result:Completely prevented MPTP-induced striatal dopamine loss, resulting in levels of 9.5 μg/g wet tissue.
Completely prevented MPTP-induced striatal DOPAC loss, resulting in levels of 0.8 μg/g wet tissue.
Increased striatal dopamine content to 10.2 μg/g wet tissue (approximately 10% higher than saline controls) when administered alone.
