Vinpocetine is a synthetic derivative of the vincamine alkaloid obtained from the periwinkle plant Vinca minor. It is used as a cognitive enhancer, mainly for memory improvement and neuroprotective purposes in aging-related cognitive impairment and cerebrovascular disorders. Vinpocetine is not approved by the FDA for therapeutic use in the United States, but is used in some countries as a prescription medication and in others as a dietary supplement.
