Bioactivity | Sofiniclin (ABT 894), an agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), is used as a potential non-stimulant research for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Sofiniclin is more potent than ABT-089 at both receptor subtypes, with Ki values of 1.9 nM for 125I-α-conotoxinMII binding and of 1.3 nM for 125I-epibatidine binding[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Sofiniclin (0.001 to 0.10 mg/kg, p.o.) produces significant reductions in LIDs compared to vehicle monkey[1]. Sofiniclin (0.1 mg/kg) does not decrease LIDs in monkeys with severe nigrostriatal damage[2]. | ||||||||||||
