Description

Vinpocetine Citrate is a high-purity, water-soluble citrate salt form of the well-known nootropic compound vinpocetine. This form offers enhanced stability and handling characteristics compared to the free base, making it a preferred choice for precise formulation in advanced applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced research sectors for developing products targeting cognitive support and cerebral blood flow.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or intermediate in the formulation of prescription and OTC medications for cognitive disorders and cerebrovascular conditions.
• Dietary Supplements & Nootropics: A critical component in high-quality nutraceutical blends, capsules, and tablets designed to support memory, focus, and mental clarity.
• Neurological Research: Used as a reference standard and experimental compound in preclinical and clinical research studying neuroprotection, cerebral metabolism, and blood-brain barrier function.
• Advanced Life Sciences: Employed in biochemical assays and as a tool compound for investigating phosphodiesterase (PDE1) inhibition and cellular signaling pathways.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated into specialized formulations for aging companion animals to support cognitive function.

Quality Control

Our Vinpocetine Citrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full compliance are provided with every shipment. We can support development projects requiring alignment with pharmaceutical (ICH Q3) guidelines or specific monograph requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
