Bioactivity | Ispronicline (TC-1734), an orally active, brain-selective α4β2 nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist, has shown memory-enhancing properties in rodents and a good tolerability profile. Ispronicline binds to the α4β2 nAChR with high affinity (Ki=11 nM) and is highly selective to other nAChRs such as α7 nAChR and α3β4 nAChR[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Ispronicline (10-20 mg/kg; s.c.) induces c-Fos expression in selective regions of the rat forebrain[1]. Ispronicline pharmacokinetics (half-life of 2 h in rats) contrasts with the long-lasting improvement of working memory (18 h to 2 d)[2]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
