HIDE SMILES / InChI
(-)-vesamicol is an active enantiomer of vesamicol (AH5183 or [(-)-trans-2-(4-phenylpiperidino)cyclohexanol]). It inhibits the uptake of acetylcholine into cholinergic neuronal storage vesicles. Vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) is inhibited by (-)-vesamicol, which binds tightly to an allosteric site.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: I.p route in rats was used: to assess the effect of vesamicol in vivo, we examined cholinergic parameters, such as the subcellular distribution of ACh, activities of enzymes, uptake of choline, and muscarinic receptor binding in the striatum, hippocampus, and cerebral cortex of rats 30 and 60 min after intraperitoneal injection of vesamicol (3 mg/kg) or of vesamicol in combination with DDVP (5 mg/kg), which was administered 10 min before vasamicol. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9205789
Mice: male nude mice were fed a diet containing 50 mg vesamicol/kg food (10 mg vesamicol/kg body weight) per day. The administration of vesamicol decreased the tumor growth rate of A549 human BAC tumors. The administration of 50 mg vesamicol/kg food in the diet was well tolerated and caused no discomfort or weight loss in mice.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The effects of vesamicol (AH5183), a blocker of acetylcholine transport, on the voltage-clamped neuromuscular junction of the frog were studied. Vesamicol (15-30 uM) reduced the peak height of the ionophoretically applied acetylcholine-induced current. The amplitude of the evoked endplate current was also decreased in the presence of vesamicol (30 uM).
