HIDE SMILES / InChI
Tenilsetam (CAS 997: ( /-)-3-(2-thienyl)-2-piperazinone), a cognition-enhancing drug successfully used for the treatment of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. According to the mechanism proposed, it inhibits advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation. The beneficial effect of tenilsetam in Alzheimer's disease could come from the interference with AGE-derived crosslinking of amyloid plaques and a decreased inflammatory response to diminished activation of phagocytosing microglia. In addition was shown, that the long-term treatment with tenilsetam inhibited the formation of acellular capillaries without correcting pericyte loss. Was suggested that tenilsetam could be useful for the treatment of early diabetic retinopathy, but then these studies were discontinued.

Sample Use Guides

a pilot trial for Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Over a 3-month period at 150 mg/day doses, AD patients showed significant improvements in the favorability judgment task (FJT) and reaction time
Route of Administration: Oral
In the experiments with human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, incubated with methylglyoxal which was preincubated with tenilsetam for 2 or 24 hours, tenilsetam completely nullified the toxicity of methylglyoxal at both time points.
