Product Data
Biological target:
PHA-543613 is a potent, orally active, brain-penetrant and selective α7 nAChR agonist with a Ki of 8.8 nM.
In vitro activity:
To identity the target cells of the α7nAChR agonist PHA-543613, this study used murine dermal fibroblasts (MDF). In WT MDF (murine dermal fibroblasts), PHA-543613 suppressed ECM gene expression induced by TGF-β1. Gene silencing of α7nAChR by small interfering RNA neutralized the effects of PHA-543613 on TGF-β1-mediated ECM gene expression. Reference: Neuroendocrinology. 2022;112(5):446-456. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34120115/
In vivo activity:
Male CD-1 mice (n=109) were subjected to intracerebral infusion of autologous blood (n=88) or sham surgery (n=21). ICH animals received vehicle administration, 4 or 12 mg/kg of α7nAChR agonist PHA-543613, 12 mg/kg of α7nAChR agonist PNU-282987, 6 mg/kg of α7nAChR antagonist methyllycaconitine (MLA), 15 μg/kg of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor wortmannin, or PHA-543613 combined with MLA or wortmannin. α7nAChR stimulation improved neurological outcome and reduced brain edema at 24 and 72 hours after surgery (P<0.05 compared with vehicle). Furthermore, PHA-543613 treatment increased p-Akt and decreased p-GSK-3β and CC3 expressions in the ipsilateral hemisphere (P<0.05, respectively), which was reversed by MLA and wortmannin. P-Akt, p-GSK-3β, and CC3 were generally localized in neurons. PHA-543613 reduced neuronal cell death in the perihematomal area (P<0.05).
