Fipexide hydrochloride, a parachloro-phenossiacetic acid derivative, is an orally active nootropic agent. Fipexide hydrochloride reduces striatal adenylate cyclase activity. Fipexide hydrochloride has positive effect on cognitive performance by dopaminergic neurotransmission. Fipexide hydrochloride is used for senile dementia research. Fipexide hydrochloride acts as a chemical inducer in callus formation, shoot regeneration and Agrobacterium infection[1][2].
Fipexide (50 μM; for 15 days) hydrochloride shows simple structures, which contained epidermal regions with well-expanded cells and actively dividing regions for Arabidopsis wild-type seedlings[2]
Fipexide (10 mg/kg; orally; 5-10 days) hydrochloride completely abolishes the memory deficit produced by kindling in rats[3]
