| Bioactivity | ABT-107 is a selective α7 neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist. ABT-107 protects against nigrostriatal damage in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | ABT-107 exhibits good bioavailability in mouse (orally, 51.1%; intraperitoneally,100%), rat (orally, 81.2%; intraperitoneally, 100.0%), and monkey (orally, 40.6%; intramuscularly, 100%), and good CNS penetration in rodents with a brain/plasma ratio of 1[1].ABT-107 (0.01-1 μmol/kg i.p., 15 min before sacrifice) produces a dose-dependent increase in ERK1/2 and CREB[1]. ABT-107 (0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 mg/kg i.p.) increases S9-GSK3 and decreases p-tau in mouse cortex and hippocampus in mice[1].ABT-107 (5 mg/kg/day i.p.) infusion attenuates tau hyperphosphorylation in AD transgenic APP-tau mice[1].
