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.

Mitochondrial nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) regulate the early stage of mitochondria-driven apoptosis, including cytochrome c release. Mitochondrial nAChR signaling is mainly mediated by intra-mitochondrial kinases, in an ion-independent manner. To determine the relationship between specific nAChR subtypes and mitochondrial kinases

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

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

α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) play an important role in vagus nerve-based cholinergic anti-inflammatory effects. This study was designed to assess the role of α7 nAChRs in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in male and female mouse. We first compared
