Biological Activity
Phenylpiracetam directly interacts with mouse brain cortex α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with an IC50 of 5.86 μM[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Phenotropil (25 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 5 days) exerts a strong psychoimmunomodulatory effect in LPS-induced immune stress in Wistar rats, normalizing key cellular and innate immune parameters while improving locomotor, exploratory, and anxiety-related behaviors without altering antibody production[2].

Animal Model:Wistar (male, 180-220 g, scopolamine-induced amnesia)[1]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; single dose
-
Result:Increased 24-hour post-training latency to enter the dark compartment to 78.0 seconds, attenuating scopolamine-induced amnesia.
Normalized striatal dopamine D1 receptor density to 264.8 fmol/mg protein, abolishing scopolamine-induced reduction.
Increased striatal dopamine D2 receptor density to 367.9 fmol/mg protein, a 29% increase vs.
control.
Increased striatal dopamine D3 receptor density to 70.15 fmol/mg protein.
Reduced hippocampal NMDA receptor density to 4002 fmol/mg protein, a 24% reduction vs.
scopolamine-treated rats.
Normalized cortical nicotinic acetylcholine receptor density to 278 ± 73 fmol/mg protein, abolishing scopolamine-induced elevation.
Normalized cortical benzodiazepine receptor density to 2.62 fmol/mg protein, abolishing scopolamine-induced reduction.
Caused no changes in serotonin 5-HT2 receptor density.
-
Animal Model:Wistar rats (male and female, 250-300 g, LPS-induced immune stress)[2]
-
Dosage:25 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 5 days
-
Result:Restored cellular immunity and nonspecific resistance.
Reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction index, phagocytic index, and phagocytic number to levels not significantly different from normal control rats.
Left anti-erythrocyte antibody titer elevated (no effect on antibody production observed).
Prevented anxiety, fear, and sluggishness.
Increased horizontal locomotion, vertical rearing postures, crossing of the open field central area, maze arm transitions, hole exploration, hanging out from open maze arms, and exploration episodes of looking out from closed maze arms.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.45 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (11.45 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
