Description

Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride is a pharmaceutical dosage form used to treat degenerative diseases. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the activity of cholinergic neurons, and can be used to treat symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, and difficulty with movement. Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride may also be used in long-term treatment for Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride inhibits the synthesis of acetylcholine by binding to the enzyme choline acetyltransferase and blocking the transfer of acetyl-coenzyme A from the coenzyme A pool. This drug also inhibits brain infarction in animal models by preventing accumulation of fatty acids in the blood vessels.
