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.

Biological Activity

Description

All mAChR Isoforms :

In Vivo

Piroheptine (20 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) completely prevents MPTP-induced striatal dopamine and DOPAC depletion in male C57BL/6J mice^[1].

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.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
