Application Notes
Pimprinine is an indole alkaloid produced by many species of Streptomyces. Pimprinine is a potent inhibitor of monoamine oxidase. More recently, pimprinine showed promising anticonvulsant activity in electric seizure threshold tests in mice, comparable to phenylhydantoin. Pimprinine also inhibits tremorine-induced tremors and analgesia in mice.
