Relative to other polycyclic frameworks (1-3), a carborane cage (4 and Cs·5) exerts a significant biological effect as an inhibitor of the purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) which allows one to target depression in vivo and thus demonstrate, for the first time, that a carborane has the capacity to modify CNS activity.
相对于其他多环骨架(1-3),碳硼烷笼(4和Cs·5)作为嘌呤能P2X7受体(P2X7R)的抑制剂发挥显著的生物学效应,这使得其能够在体内靶向治疗抑郁症,从而首次证明碳硼烷具有调节中枢神经系统活性的能力。
