Vinpocetine

Description

Vinpocetine is a vincamine derivative, and Pure Rawz sells it as tablets and a powder. Each batch is checked for 99%+ purity. It’s intended for research use only.

What is Vinpocetine?

Vinpocetine is a semi-synthetic derivative of vincamine, developed in Hungary by Gedeon Richter in the 1970s and sold there as Cavinton. It inhibits PDE1 and blocks sodium channels.

It’s a prescription drug in parts of Europe and Asia.

How it acts in research models

Vinpocetine inhibits PDE1, which raises cGMP and cAMP, and blocks sodium channels. Together that widens brain blood vessels and protects neurons from overexcitation.

It also lowers inflammation by blocking IKK in the NF-kB pathway.

What studies say about Vinpocetine

A Cochrane review found the evidence for dementia inconclusive.

The US FDA warned in 2019 against its use in pregnancy after animal studies showed fetal harm.

Choosing your option

It comes in 3 options. Pick one from the dropdown above the cart button:

• Tablets, 150mg per tablet/20ct/3g: $38.23
• Tablets, 150mg per tablet/40ct/6g: $68.86
• Powder, 5g: $43.70

Tablets are pressed with a fixed amount per tablet, shown in the size option along with the count.

The powder is the bulk form, for labs that weigh their own amounts. Use a milligram scale for accuracy.

How labs use it

Nootropic research usually uses memory and learning tests in rodents, such as maze tasks, object recognition or fear conditioning, along with markers like BDNF or receptor binding.

Behavioral tests are sensitive to handling and time of day, so labs keep both constant and score results blind. A vehicle group run on the same day is the most useful control.

Test a range of amounts if you can. Many cognition compounds have an inverted-U response, where too much works worse than a moderate amount.

How to store Vinpocetine

Keep the container sealed at room temperature, away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Label the container with the opening date. It saves guesswork later.

Handling notes

Handle it the way you’d handle any research chemical: gloves, eye protection and a clean bench. Don’t eat or drink where you work with it.

Keep it out of reach of anyone who isn’t trained, and dispose of used syringes, vials and wipes according to your lab’s waste rules.

Supplies to have on hand

• a milligram scale, since powder has to be weighed
• a suitable solvent if you’re making your own solution, such as DMSO or propylene glycol
