Application
PHA-543613 has been used to study its effect on recognition memory and neurovascular coupling (NVC) response in β-amyloid (Aβ) 25-35-treated mice. It has also been used to study its effect on Aβ25-35-induced receptor alteration and cognitive impairment in mice.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PHA-543613 exhibits rapid brain penetration property.
PHA-543613 is a potent selective α7 nAChR agonist. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are ligand-gated ion channels activated by nicotine, expressed in multiple tissues, with high functional expression in brain. The homomeric subtype α7 is a potential therapeutic target for cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and Alzheimer′s disease. PHA-543613 is active in both in vitro (binding, calcium flux, patch-clamp) and in vivo (auditory gating, novel object recognition) assays.
