Notes: An agonist of a7 nAChRs; induces inward currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing the rat or human receptor (EC50s = 2.45 and 4.26 µM, respectively), which can be reversed by methyllycaconitine; selectively binds to a7 nAChRs (Kis = 10.8 and 16.7 nM for the rat and human receptors, respectively) over a panel of >75 receptors and ion channels, including muscarinic receptors, at 10 µM but does bind to 5-HT3 (Ki = 154 nM); improves cognitive deficits in the 3xTg transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease at 12 mg/kg; increases accuracy in the DMTS test in rhesus monkeys at 10 mg/kg
