Biochem/physiol Actions

An allosteric modulator of α7 nicotinic receptors, N-(5-chloro-2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-N′-(5-methyl-3-isoxazolyl)-urea (PNU-120596), causes conformational changes in the extracellular ligand binding domain similar to those caused by acetylcholinePNU-120596 is a positive allosteric modulator selective for the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. PNU-120596 produces no detectable change in currents mediated by α4β2, α3β4, α9α10 nAChRs. It increases channel mean open time, but does not affect ion selectivity. It does not bind at the agonist binding site, but induces conformational changes similar to the natural effector.
PNU-120596 is a positive allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

Several nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes are expressed in mitochondria to regulate the internal pathway of apoptosis in ion channel-independent manner. However, the mechanisms of nAChR activation in mitochondria and targeting to mitochondria are still unknown. Nicotine has been shown

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are best known to function as ligand-gated ion channels in the nervous system. However, recent evidence suggests that nicotine modulates inflammation by desensitizing non-neuronal nAChRs, rather than by inducing channel opening. Silent agonists are molecules that

Epidemiological studies report strong association between mood disorders and tobacco addiction. This high comorbidity requires adequate treatment but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We demonstrate that nicotine exposure, independent of drug withdrawal effects, increases stress sensitivity, a major risk factor

B-973 is an efficacious type II positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors that, like 4BP-TQS and its active isomer GAT107, can produce direct allosteric activation in addition to potentiation of orthosteric agonist activity, which identifies it as

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major human health concern that has the greatest impact on young men and women. The breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important pathological consequence of TBI that initiates secondary processes, including infiltration
