Phenserine tartrate ((-)-Eseroline phenylcarbamate) is a derivative of Physostigmine and is a potent, noncompetitive, long-acting and selective AChE inhibitor. Phenserine tartrate reduces β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) formation. Phenserine tartrate improves cognitive performance and attenuates the progression of Alzheimer's disease[1][2][3]. | [in vivo]
Phenserine (1-4 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; for 4 days; male Fischer-344 rats) treatment improves learning when cholinergic function has been impaired in a spatial memory task[3]. Animal Model: | Male Fischer-344 rats (5 months old) induced by scopolamine[3] | Dosage: | 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg | Administration: | Intraperitoneal injection; for 4 days | Result: | Improved morris water maze performance of scopolamine-treated rats. |
