Notes: PNU 282987 is a potent agonist of α7-containing neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs; Ki = 26 nM for the rat receptor).{33473} It has negligible activity against α1β1γδ and α3β4 nAChRs as well as a panel of monoamine, muscarinic, glutamate, and GABA receptors, except 5-HT3 (Ki = 930 nM).{33473} PNU 282987 evokes whole-cell currents from cultured rat hippocampal neurons and enhances GABAergic synaptic activity when applied to hippocampal slices.{33474}
