Kojic amine is an orally active γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analog. Kojic amine acts as a GABA mimic that inhibits sodium-independent [3H]GABA binding to rat brain cell membranes. Kojic amine reduces flexor spasms in chronic spinal rat and cat models. Kojic amine prevents tonic extensor convulsions in mice. Kojic amine produces a transient, dose-dependent analgesic effect in the mouse hot-plate test. Kojic amine can be used in research related to skeletal muscle spasm, epilepsy and analgesia[1][2]

Kojic amine reduces flexor spasms in chronic spinal rat and cat models. Kojic amine prevents tonic extensor convulsions in mice.

In Vitro

Kojic amine (Compound 3) potently and specifically inhibits the Na+-independent binding of [3H]GABA to rat brain cell membranes[1].

In Vivo

kojic amine i.v.(i.v.) reduces flexor reflex spasm in rats with chronic spinal cord injury by 70%, with an ED70 of 8 mg/kg for intravenous delivery[1].
Kojic amine (i.v., oral administration; cumulative dosing) reduces flexor reflex spasm in chronic spinal cats by 70%, with an intravenous ED70 of 2.2 mg/kg and an oral ED70 of 4 mg/kg[1].
Kojic amine (15-128 mg/kg; i.g.; single dose) prevents 3-mercaptopropionic acid-induced tonic extensor convulsions in 50% of mice at an oral ED50 of 15 mg/kg[1].
Kojic amine (8.2-15.7 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) produces dose-dependent, short-acting analgesic effects in the mouse hot-plate test at 48°C and 55°C, with ED50 values of 9.2 mg/kg and 13.8 mg/kg, respectively[2].

Animal Model: Robidoux Swiss (male, 18-22 g, 3-mercaptopropionic acid-induced convulsions)[1]
Dosage: 15 mg/kg (seizure prevention ED50); 128 mg/kg (acute oral non-lethal)
Administration: p.o.; single dose (30 mins prior to convulsion induction)
Result: Prevented tonic extensor seizures in 50% of mice (ED50) challenged with 3-mercaptopropionic acid.
Allowed all mice to survive an acute oral dose of 128 mg/kg.
Animal Model: albino Swiss CD-1 (male, 18-24 g)[2]
Dosage: 8.2-15.7 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single dose
Result: Produced dose-dependent, short-acting analgesic effects in the mouse hot-plate test at 48°C and 55°C, with ED50 values of 9.2 mg/kg and 13.8 mg/kg, respectively.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
