Ispronicline (AZD-3480; TC-1734) is a novel and potent alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. As an orally bioactive and brain-selective α4β2 nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist, it exhibits memory-enhancing properties in rodents and a good tolerability profile.

Biological Activity
| ln Vivo | Ispronicline (10-20 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection) stimulates c-Fos expression in specific regions of the rat forebrain [1]. The pharmacokinetics of isopronicline (half-life in rats is 2 hours) stand in stark contrast to the long-lasting effects in working memory (18 hours to 2 days) [2]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rat, body weight 180-200 g[1] Doses: 10 and 30 mg/kg Route of Administration: subcutaneous injection Experimental Results: c-Fos was induced in the medial paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. Treatment with 30 mg/kg isopronicline (but not 10 mg/kg) Dramatically increased the number of c-Fos immunoreactive cells in the medial parvocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) compared with controls. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~426.73 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.67 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.67 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.67 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
