    Product Description

    A-582941 is an agonist of a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).1 It induces inward currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing the rat or human receptor (EC50s = 2.45 and 4.26 µM, respectively), which can be reversed by methyllycaconitine (Item No. 21398). A-582941 selectively binds to a7 nAChRs (Kis = 10.8 and 16.7 nM for the rat and human receptors, respectively) over a panel of greater than 75 receptors and ion channels, including muscarinic receptors, at 10 µM but does bind to the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT3 (Ki = 154 nM). In vivo, A-582941 (12 mg/kg) improves cognitive deficits in the 3xTg transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.2 It increases accuracy in the delayed match-to-sample (DMTS) test in rhesus monkeys when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg.1
