Product Description: Linopirdine (DuP 996) is an orally active, selective M-type K+ current (IM; Kv7; KCNQ Channels) inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.4 μM. Linopirdine is a TRPV1 agonist. Linopirdine, a putative cognition enhancing agent, increases acetylcholine release in rat brain tissue[1][2][3].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C26H21N3O
