Description:
FK960 is a potential anti-dementia agent that reverses the reduction in cerebral blood flow (rCBF) caused by sensory stimulation by enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission. In macaque experiments, physostigmine (AChE inhibitor; HY-N6608) was able to completely eliminate the rCBF in the sensory cortex increased by vibrotactile stimulation. FK960 (1-1000 μg/kg) can restore the eliminated rCBF response, and the action time can last for 1 hour. However, FK960 cannot restore the rCBF response eliminated by HA-966 (NMDA modulator; HY-100822), indicating that its function is not dependent on non-glutamatergic neurotransmission.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
