| Targets |
CX546 targets AMPA receptors, which are ionotropic glutamate receptors important for synaptic transmission and plasticity in the brain. It acts as a positive allosteric modulator, enhancing the activity of AMPA receptors without directly acting as a conventional agonist. It binds specifically to the agonist-bound non-desensitized receptor, and most likely destabilizes the desensitized receptor conformation.

| ln Vitro |
CX546 is a positive modulator of AMPA receptors. It enhances the activity of AMPA receptors, which are important for synaptic transmission and plasticity in the brain. It binds specifically to the agonist-bound non-desensitized receptor, and most likely destabilizes the desensitized receptor conformation. It exhibits specificity for different combinations of receptor subunits and TARP variants.
|
| ln Vivo |
In cultured rat entorhinal/hippocampal slices, treatment with ampakine CX614 (intraperitoneal injection) raises brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA and protein levels considerably and reversibly [1].
CX546 has been investigated for its potential in treating schizophrenia, reversing respiratory depression, relieving pain, promoting neurogenesis, and improving synaptic plasticity. It has demonstrated antipsychotic action by restoring prepulse inhibition. It has shown significant efficacy in reversing respiratory depression caused by sedative drugs like opioids and barbiturates without reducing the analgesic effects. Systemic administration of CX546 has reduced mechanical hypersensitivity and depressive features of pain in animal models. |
| Enzyme Assay |
CX546 is evaluated in cell-free receptor binding assays to determine its affinity for AMPA receptors. Radioligand binding displacement assays are performed using membrane preparations expressing AMPA receptor subunits. Competition binding experiments are conducted with increasing concentrations of CX546 and a fixed concentration of a labeled reference ligand.
|
| Cell Assay |
CX546 is assessed in cell-based electrophysiological assays using neurons or cells expressing AMPA receptors. The compound's ability to modulate AMPA receptor activity is measured by assessing its effects on excitatory postsynaptic currents and receptor kinetics. It enhances excitatory postsynaptic currents at cerebellar parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses.
|
| Animal Protocol |
CX546 is administered in animal models to evaluate its antipsychotic, analgesic, and cognitive-enhancing effects. It has been studied in models of schizophrenia, pain, and respiratory depression. Efficacy is assessed using behavioral tests and physiological measurements.
|

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
