Molarity Calculator

Coluracetam (MKC-231) is an orally taken choline uptake enhancer. Coluracetam can improve the reduced acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus of rats and mice, enhancing learning difficulties, memory deficits, and cognitive impairments. Coluracetam induces a lower degree of hepatic venous hyperglycemia.

    Immunoblots for CHT1 in the colon of WAS and WAS-MKC-231-treated rats reveal that the ratios of CHT1 to β-actin expression in WAS rats are considerably increased after 10 consecutive days of MKC-231 treatment.

    Description

    Coluracetam (MKC-231) is an orally taken choline uptake enhancer. Coluracetam can improve the reduced acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus of rats and mice, enhancing learning difficulties, memory deficits, and cognitive impairments. Coluracetam induces a lower degree of hepatic venous hyperglycemia[1][2][3].

    In Vivo

    Coluracetam (0.3-3 mg/kg, oral, once a day for 11 days) improves the memory deficits and hippocampal acetylcholine depletion in mice induced by AF64A[1].
    Coluracetam (1-3 mg/kg, oral, once a day for 8 days) improves cognitive and learning impairments in rats[2].
    Coluracetam (5×10-8 and 5×10-7 mol, ventricular injection, single dose) slightly increases hepatic venous glucose levels[3].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Mice induced by AF64A induced[1]
    Dosage: 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 mg/kg, once a day, for 11 days
    Administration: Oral
    Result: Improved memory deficits and significantly reversed cetylcholine depletion.
    Animal Model: Mice induced by AF64A induced[2]
    Dosage: 1.0, 3.0 mg/kg, once a day, for 8 days
    Administration: Oral
    Result: Showed the platform latency in the Morris water maze task shortened, cognitive impairment improved, and high-affinity choline uptake increased.
    Animal Model: Male albino Wistar rats[3]
    Dosage: 5×10-8 and 5×10-7 mol, single dose
    Administration: Intracerebroventricular injection (ICV)
    Result: Slight increased in hepatic venous glucose.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
