ONO 1603, a novel prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor investigated as a potential antidementia drug, demonstrated neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects in cerebellar granule cells similar to tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA). At a concentration of 0.03 microM, ONO 1603 promoted neuronal survival, enhanced neurite outgrowth, increased m3-muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) mRNA levels, and stimulated mAChR-mediated signaling pathways. These findings suggest that ONO 1603 shares pharmacological similarities with THA, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease by enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission and neuronal function.

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, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
