Pirlindole
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pirlindole is an orally active, selective and reversible MAO-A inhibitor with an IC50 value of 250 nM. Pirlindole inhibits genomic replication of Enterovirus species B and D, and exhibits moderate activity against enterovirus species A. Pirlindole inhibits MAO-A-mediated monoamine metabolism, promotes adult hippocampal neurogenesis, rescues stress-induced dendritic atrophy of hippocampal granule neurons, reverses behavioral effects associated with chronic mild stress, and also possesses anticonvulsant, analgesic, local anesthetic, hypotensive, antiplatelet aggregation and antispasmodic activities. Pirlindole shows no detectable mutagenic, clastogenic or carcinogenic properties. Pirlindole can be used in research related to depression and enterovirus infections.

Pirlindole selectively inhibits MAO-A in rat brain with an IC50 value of 250 nM, and its inhibitory potency against MAO-B in rat brain and heart is more than 200-fold lower[3].
Pirlindole (0.1 nM-34 μM) slightly increases electrically stimulated dopamine release at concentrations of 0.1-10 nM, and doubles electrically induced norepinephrine and serotonin release at concentrations of 4.5 μM and 34 μM, respectively, in rat cortical slices[3].
Pirlindole (3 μg/mL) prolongs the refractory period of electrically stimulated rabbit atrial contractions[3].
Pirlindole (Up to 0.5 mg per plate) shows no mutagenic activity in the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 1537, TA 100, and TA 1535, with or without metabolic activation[3].
Pirlindole (10 μM) potently inhibits CV-B3 replication in HeLa R19 cells, as evidenced by a significant reduction in GFP fluorescence intensity and extremely low cytotoxicity[4].
Pirlindole (0.3-30 μM; 8 h postinfection) inhibits the replication of CV-B3 in BGM cells and EV-D68 in HeLa R19 cells, exhibits moderate activity against EV-A71, and shows no activity against EV-C, rhinoviruses or EMCV[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Pirlindole (5-25 mg/kg; i.p.; single acute administration or twice daily for 14 consecutive days) significantly reduces the immobility time of mice in the forced swimming test, with efficacy comparable to that of standard antidepressants[3].
Pirlindole (10 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 5 consecutive days) enhances electrical self-stimulation behavior in rats with hypofunction of the reward system induced by internal capsule injury[3].
Pirlindole (administered via i.p. or p.o. at 1-50 mg/kg) antagonizes reserpine (HY-N0480)-induced ptosis and hypothermia, as well as tetrabenazine (HY-B0590)-induced ptosis in mice[3].
Pirlindole (10-25 mg/kg; p.o.) antagonizes the sedative effect induced by Diazepam[3].
