    Product Description

    NS 1738 is a positive allosteric modulator of the α7-containing neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).1 When applied in the presence of ACh, NS 1738 increases the peak amplitude of the current flowing through α7-containing nAChRs (EC50 = 3.4 µM).1 NS 1738 displays no substantial activity for α4β2-, α3β3-, and α1-containing receptors. It is modestly brain-penetrant and counteracts (-)-scopolamine-induced deficit in acquisition of a water-maze learning task in rats.1 NS 1738 also improves performance in the rat social recognition test.1 NS 1738 is used to selectively evaluate the role of α7-containing nAChRs in signaling pathways.2,3
