Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Donepezil HCl is a GSK3 and AChE inhibitor and potential σ1 receptor agonist used to treat Alzheimer's disease. It also improves learning and memory, downregulates expression of NR1 subuinit of NMDA receptors, decreases left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and increases left ventricular contractility.

Biological target:
Donepezil is an AChE inhibitor for bAChE and hAChE with IC50 of 8.12 nM and 11.6 nM , respectively.
In vitro activity:
The effect of donepezil, a drug used for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, on oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy was investigated in vitro. Donepezil effectively attenuated oxaliplatin- and cisplatin-induced inhibition of neurite outgrowth in cultured PC12 cells. Moreover, donepezil did not inhibit the anti-tumor activity of oxaliplatin in any cultured cancer cell line. These results suggested that donepezil attenuated oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy without impairing anticancer efficacy.

In vivo activity:
The efficacy of donepezil in enhancing remyelination in vivo was examined in the cuprizone-induced demyelination model. Adult female C57BL/6 mice were fed a diet that contained 0.2% (w/w) cuprizone for 5 weeks, followed by standard chow feeding with a daily intraperitoneal injection of donepezil (1.5 or 5 mg/kg) or vehicle for 1–3 weeks (Fig. 5a). The myelin status in the corpus callosum region was measured by Luxol fast blue staining. Five-week cuprizone treatment induced the complete loss of myelin in the corpus callosum as indicated by the loss of blue staining (Fig. 5b).
