Description

4-Aminopyridine, sometimes abbreviated as 4-AP, is an organic compound and one of the three isomeric amines of pyridine. It is an ion channel modulator used as a research tool in characterizing subtypes of the potassium channel (K channel), which is associated with multiple sclerosis disease. 4-Aminopyridine (4AP) acts a K channel blocker that is useful clinically. It is reported that the use of 4-AP can potentially improve cognitive functions. 4-aminopyridine has shown strong evidence as potent neurotransmitter modulator with the capacity to target the damaged nervous system through blockage of voltage-gated potassium channels. This fact widen the spectrum for new therapies for another related diseases such as Parkinson.
