Product Data
Biological target:
PNU-282987 is a highly selective α7 nAChR agonist (Ki = 26 nM).
In vitro activity:
In the present study, using pharmacological inhibition and genetic knockout of α7nAChR, this study assessed the antiapoptotic effects of an α7nAChR agonist PNU-282987 in primary cultured astrocytes treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). PNU-282987 promoted the viability of astrocytes, alleviated MPP+ induced apoptosis, and decreased the number of GFAP+/TUNEL+ cells. Meanwhile, PNU-282987 upregulated the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and downregulated the expression of the apoptotic protein Bax and cleaved-caspase-3. Moreover, the suppression of the JNK-p53-caspase-3 signaling may underlie the neuroprotective property of PNU-282987. Therefore, PNU-282987 ameliorates astroglial apoptosis induced by MPP+ through α7nAChR-JNK-p53 signaling. Reference: Front Cell Neurosci. 2019 Nov 12;13:507. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31780901/
In vivo activity:
Amphetamine-induced sensory gating deficit, determined by auditory-evoked potentials in hippocampal CA3 region, was restored by systemic administration of PNU-282987 in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats. Auditory gating of rat reticular thalamic neurons was also disrupted by amphetamine; however, PNU-282987 normalized gating deficit only in a subset of tested neurons (6 of 11). Furthermore, PNU-282987 improved the inherent hippocampal gating deficit occurring in a subpopulation of anesthetized rats, and enhanced amphetamine-induced hippocampal oscillation. This study proposes that the alpha7 nAChR agonist PNU-282987, via modulating/enhancing hippocampal GABAergic neurotransmission, improves auditory gating and enhances hippocampal oscillatory activity.
