28319-77-9 Biological Activity

Description

L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate) is a natural choline compound found in the brain and in milk. It is also a parasympathomimetic acetylcholine precursor which may have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.IC50 value:Target: Anti-ADAlpha-GPC rapidly delivers choline to the brain across the blood–brain barrier and is a biosynthetic precursor of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter. It is a non-prescription drug in most countries due to its Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) status [1]. Studies have investigated its efficacy for cognitive disorders including stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. An Italian multicentre clinical trial on 2,044 patients suffering from recent stroke were supplied alpha-GPC in doses of 1,000 mg/day for 28 days and 400 mg three times per day for the five ensuing months. The trial confirmed the therapeutic role of alpha-GPC on the cognitive recovery of patients based on four measurement scales, three of which reached statistical significance [2].

28319-77-9 Description

Choline alfoscerate is a nootropic reportedly effective in the treatment of age-associated memory impairment. In man, it decreased and prevented scopolamine-induced amnesia. In vitro studies suggest that choline alfoscerate acts indirectly on cholinergic transmission by elevating the synthesis of acetylcholine.

 

28319-77-9 Uses

  1. sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine (Choline Alfoscerate) is a phospholipid; precursor in choline biosynthesis. sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine is an intermediate in catabolic pathway of phosphatidylcholine. sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine is used as an Nootropic.
  2. L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine has been used to rescue choline auxotrophy. It has also been used for the synthesis of glycerophospholipids.
