Description: Latrepirdine, also known as dimebolin (sold as Dimebon), is an antihistamine drug which has been used clinically in Russia since 1983. Research is continuing in both Russia and western nations into potential applications as a neuroprotective drug to combat Alzheimer's disease and, possibly, as a nootropic as well. However, a Phase III clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease treatment failed to show any benefit. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrepirdine)

Product Data:
Biological target: Latrepirdine dihydrochloride is a neuroactive compound with antagonist activity at histaminergic, α-adrenergic, and serotonergic receptors.
In vitro activity: The ability of latrepirdine to alter the formation of Aβ42 aggregates was assessed by thioflavin-T fluorescence, western immunoblotting and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Despite showing a reduction in thioflavin-T fluorescence with latrepirdine treatment, indicating a decrease in aggregation, immunoblotting and AFM showed a modest increase in both the formation and size of Aβ aggregates. The ability of latrepirdine to modulate Aβ aggregation appears to be independent of its neuroprotective effects, and is unlikely to be a mechanism by which latrepirdine offers protection. Reference: J Alzheimers Dis. 2016;50(3):895-905. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26836170/
In vivo activity: Treatment with latrepirdine increased AMPK activity in primary mouse motor neuron cultures and in SOD1(G93A) lumbar spinal cords. Mice "preconditioned" with latrepirdine showed a delayed symptom onset and a significant increase in life span (p < 0.01).
