ABT-418 hydrochloride_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	ABT-418 hydrochloride is a potent and selective agonist of nAChRs with cognitive enhancing and anxiolytic activities. ABT-418 hydrochloride activates cholinergic channel and can be used for research of Alzheimer's disease[1][2].
Target	nAChRs
In Vivo	ABT-418 hydrochloride (125.66 μg/kg; i.p.) induces a significant increase in the time spent by the rats in the open arms of the elevated plus maze[1].Acute administration of ABT-418 (125.66μg/kg; i.p.) also attenuates the anxiogenic-like effect elicited by withdrawal from chronic (-)-nicotine treatment[1].ABT-418 hydrochloride (0.6 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for two weeks) effectively improves spatial memory in an animal model of ADHD[2].ABT-418 hydrochloride significantly enhances the cortical α4 and β2 nAChR subunits and the hippocampal α4 subunit expression[2].
