Bioactivity	BU224 hydrochloride is a selective and high affinity imidazoline I2 receptor ligand, with a Ki of 2.1 nM. BU224 hydrochloride is sometimes used as an I2 receptor antagonist. BU224 hydrochloride exerts neuroprotective effects, with anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. BU224 hydrochloride improves memory in 5XFAD mice, enlarging dendritic spines and reducing Aβ-induced changes in NMDARs. BU224 hydrochloride can be used for Alzheimer's disease research[1][2][3].
Target	Ki: 2.1 nM (I2)
In Vivo	BU224 hydrochloride (5 mg/kg, IP, twice a day for 10 days) improves behavioural performance and memory function in 5XFAD mice[1].BU224 hydrochloride (5 mg/kg, IP, twice a day for 10 days) reduces levels of the microglial marker Iba1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α and increased the expression of astrocytic marker GFAP in 5XFAD mice[1].BU224 hydrochloride (10 mg/kg, IP, once) reduces immobility of rats in the FST (forced swim test), indicative of antidepressant-like activity[2].
