Description

Vinpocetine is a synthetic derivative of the Vinca minor alkaloid vincamine, known for its role as a cerebral vasodilator and neuroprotective agent. Its primary value lies in enhancing cerebral blood flow and cognitive function, making it a critical intermediate in the production of nootropic and cerebrovascular pharmaceuticals. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries developing products aimed at supporting memory, focus, and overall brain health. Vinpocetine CAS NO 80038-06-8 is supplied under stringent quality controls to ensure purity and efficacy for demanding formulation applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient: Primary use as the key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in prescription and over-the-counter medications for cerebrovascular disorders and cognitive enhancement.
• Nootropic Supplements: A core component in dietary supplements and nutraceuticals formulated to support memory, concentration, and mental clarity.
• Research & Development: Used in preclinical and clinical research studies investigating neuroprotection, cerebral ischemia, and age-related cognitive decline.
• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated into veterinary medicines aimed at treating cognitive dysfunction syndrome in aging pets.
• Finished Dosage Forms: Processed into various final product forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquid formulations.

Quality Control

Our Vinpocetine is manufactured under a GMP-compliant quality management system, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical intermediates. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, residual solvent analysis, and identification confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with in-house specifications aligned with major pharmacopoeial standards.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
