α7 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChR) represent promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia. A medicinal chemistry effort around previously reported compound 1 (SEN15924, WAY-361789) led to the identification of 12 (SEN78702, WYE-308775) a potent and selective full agonist of the α7 nAChR that demonstrated improved plasma stability, brain levels, and efficacy in behavioral cognition models.
α7 烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体 (α7 nAChR) 是治疗与阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 和精神分裂症相关认知障碍的有前途的治疗候选药物。此前报道的化合物 1(SEN15924,WAY-361789)的药物化学研究工作导致了 12(SEN78702,WYE-308775)的发现,它是一种有效的 α7 nAChR 全激动剂,具有改善的血浆稳定性、脑水平和行为认知模型中的疗效。
