Vincamine is the major alkaloid of Vinca minor. Although vincamine has been used therapeutically for almost three decades, the exact mechanisms of action and its effects are still unknown. Vincamine is a peripheral vasodilator that increases blood flow to the brain. Vincamine is beneficial to the nervous system's cells feeding and protecting processes and is utilized as an adjuvant in case of cerebrovascular insufficiency, age-related psycho-behavioral disorders, post concussion syndrome in head trauma, in case of post-stroke sequels. Vincamine may be used as a dietary nootropic supplement.

Metabolic changes in alveolar macrophages and cell injury were evaluated in three studies carried out after 24 hr of gaseous phase culture in normoxia and in anaerobiosis with a possible treatment with 0.01 ug/ml vincamine: 1) ATP content assay by bioluminescence, the witness of cell vitality which decreases significantly in anaerobiosis; 2) Lactate assay which shows the metabolism derivation towards the anaerobic pathways; and 3) Tritiated deoxyglucose (DOG) incorporation, which shows glucose requirements after hypoxic incubation, maintaining or recovering a certain level of energetic activity.
