NSI-189 Description
NSI-189 is a benzylphiperizine-aminiopyridine, nootropic and neurogenic research chemical created by Neuralstem, Inc. that was derived from pyrazine and nicotinamide. Studies have shown that it stimulates neurogenesis of human hippocampus-derived neural stem cells in vivo and vitro. In healthy adult mice, NSI-189 has been shown to increase the hippocampal volume by 20% and reverse behavioral symptoms in mouse depression models, meaning at the source it could address depression . The hippocampus is responsible for spatial navigation, along with the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory.
The chemical entity stimulates new neuron growth in the hippocampus, which is an area of the brain that is believed to be contributory in conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Alzheimer's disease, and major depressive disorder (MDD).
NSI-189 Benefits
Tests have shown that NSI-189 significantly improved behavioral responses that are associated with depression . In humans it may counter hippocampal atrophy which is seen in disorders such as MDD, reversing their symptoms. A phase 1B randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose escalation study conducted over a 28 day period showed behavioral efficacy in 24 patients who were orally administered NSI-189. The efficacy measurements showed a clinically meaningful reduction in cognitive and depressive symptoms across all measures, and appeared to persist over time during follow up for the efficacy assessments which included the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I), Montgomery-Aserb Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Cognitive and Physical Functioning Questionnaire (CPFQ, and the Symptoms of Depression Questionnaire (SDQ)
NSI-189 Dosage and Suggestion:
Studies conducted to evaluate effects of NSI-189 revealed that 40 to 80 mg daily is effective in treating depression and cognitive symptoms amongst healthy patients. In these trials, there are no serious adverse events recorded. Generally, NSI-189 is well tolerated and safe for human use.
