tcsc0029160 Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride

Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride is a selective agonist of α₄β₂ neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) with a pEC₅₀ of 6.48.

IC50 & Target: α₄β₂ nAChR

In Vitro: Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride is a selective agonist of α₄β₂ neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) with a pEC₅₀ of 6.48^[1]. ACh-induced currents are potentiated and inhibited by Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride in the high sensitivity (HS) and low sensitivity (LS) isoform preparations, although Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride displays a higher potency on the LS isoform (pEC₅₀=6.4±0.2) compare with the HS isoform (pEC₅₀=5.6±0.2). Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride potentiates ACh-induced responses of wild-type receptors expressed using the HS isoform preparation maximally by 350±20%, which is similar to receptors expressed via the LS isoform preparation (350±30%)^[2].
