Vinpocetine, a synthetic derivative of the minor alkaloid vincarmine from the Vinca genus of plants, is a cyclic nucleotide Ca2+-dependent/calmodulin-stimulated phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. Studies suggest that Vinpocetine′s selective inhibition of PDE1 (CaM-PDE ) may induce vascular relaxation by increasing cyclic GMP contents in vascular smooth muscle. Research has shown that Vinpocetine could exert a neuroprotective type of action in vivo. Specifically, Vinpocetine has been found to display a capacity to effectively attenuate behavioral deficits caused by lesions in rat brains and decrease the region of microglia activation.
