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.

Approved Use

Oxybral (Vincamine) is indicated to normalize and adapt the cerebral blood flow according to the metabolic needs and in turn improves, regulates and maintains all the brain functions, reflecting better performance physically and intellectually. 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.

Sample Use Guides

Oxybral (Vincamine) Capsule contains 30 mg of vincamine in a sustained release pellet form. Oxybral (Vincamine) Ampoule for parenteral administration contains 15 mg of vincamine. Dosage in Adult: 1 capsule twice daily, 1 ampoule once or twice daily by IM or slow IV infusion
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
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.
