Nicergoline, an ergoline derivative ester of bromonicotinic acid, is a potent, selective and orally active antagonist of α1A-adrenoceptor. Nicergoline has vasodilator effects. Nicergoline also has ameliorative effects on cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimers disease.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Nicergoline (0.3-30 μM; 24 h) attenuates activated microglia- and astrocytes-induced neuronal cell death.
Nicergoline (0.3-30 μM; 48 h) suppresses the production of proinflammatory cytokines and superoxide anion by activated microglia.

体内研究(In Vivo)
Nicergoline (10 mg/kg; i.v. once daily for 60 d) improves impaired neurogenesis and cognitive competence in mice with Alzheimers disease.
Nicergoline (10 mg/kg; i.v. once daily for 60 d) inhibits apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress in hippocampal cells, and regulates the activity of hippocampal cells through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in mice.

Animal Model:
3×Tg-AD mice (male, 28-35 g, 6 weeks) with the Alzheimers disease
Dosage:
10 mg/kg
Administration:
I.v. once daily for 60 days
Result:
Improved neurogenesis and cognitive competence.
Decreased the degree of dementia.
Downregulated pathogenic Aβ-42 and -40 peptides and APP in the hippocampi.
Increased Levels of the neuroprotective forkhead box protein P2 (Foxp2), Src homology 2-containing inositol phosphatase (SxIP) and end-binding proteins (EB) in the hippocampi.
Exhibited marked differences in the dispersion of the pyramidal cell layer between the nicergoline-treated and control groups.
