Description: | FK962 is an enhancer of somatostatin release, exerts cognitive-enhancing actions[1]. |
Target: | Somatostatin release[1] |
In Vivo: | FK962 (0.1, 0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg; i.p.) and Donepezil (a single dose of 1 mg/kg) act synergistically to improve cognition in rats: as an add-on therapy for Alzheimer's disease[2]. Animal Model: Male Lister Hooded rats, weighing approximately 270-300[2] Dosage: 0.1, 0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg; Donepezil was given as a single dose of 1 mg/kg Administration: Administered i.p. Result: Resulted in minimal cognition enhancement when given separately. Combination showed a significantly greater effect on cognition. |
In Vitro: | FK962 (1 nM-1 μM) significantly enhances high K+-evoked somatostatin release from rat hippocampal slices. FK962 also significantly reduces somatostatin-induced inhibition of Ca2+ channels at 1-100 nM in single rat hippocampal neurons using whole-cell patch-clamp[1]. |
