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 Alzheimer’s disease[1][2].
Nicergoline (0.3-30 μM; 24 h) attenuates activated microglia- and astrocytes-induced neuronal cell death[3].
Nicergoline (0.3-30 μM; 48 h) suppresses the production of proinflammatory cytokines and superoxide anion by activated microglia[3].
Nicergoline (10 mg/kg; i.v. once daily for 60 d) improves impaired neurogenesis and cognitive competence in mice with Alzheimer’s disease[2].
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[2].
