Functions
PNU 282987 is a selective α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist (Ki = 26 nM). The α7 nAChR is a potential therapeutic target of cognitive deficits in diseases such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, schizophrenia, and attention deficit disorders – agonism of this receptor with PNU 282987 has shown potential to ameliorate these deficits.
Application Procedures
First dissolved in DMSO (up to 25 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 2 months.
