Product Description
3-Bromocytisine (3-Br-cytisine) is a potent nACh receptor agonist (activator) with IC50s of 0.28, 0.30 and 31.6 nM for hα4β4, hα4β2 and hα7-nACh, respectively. 3-Bromocytisine (3-Br-cytisine) acts differently on high (HS) and low (LS) ACh-sensitive α4β2 nAChRs, with EC50s of 8 and 50 nM, respectively.
3-Br-cytisine (CAS#: 207390-14-5), also known as 3-Bromocytisine, is a halogenated derivative of the plant alkaloid cytisine. It is a potent agonist of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). 3-Br-cytisine is a research tool used to study the structure, function, and pharmacology of nAChRs.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3-Br-cytisine targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), specifically the α4β4, α4β2, and α7 subtypes. It acts as a potent agonist at these receptors. The compound exhibits IC50 values of 0.28 nM for hα4β4, 0.30 nM for hα4β2, and 31.6 nM for hα7-nAChR. This indicates high potency at the α4β4 and α4β2 subtypes and moderate potency at α7.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 3-Br-cytisine acts as a potent agonist at nAChRs. It shows high affinity and potency at α4β4 and α4β2 receptor subtypes, with IC50 values of 0.28 nM and 0.30 nM, respectively. Its potency at the α7 subtype is lower, with an IC50 of 31.6 nM. These properties make it a valuable tool for studying nAChR pharmacology and for differentiating between receptor subtypes.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity data is publicly available for 3-Br-cytisine. As a research compound, its in vivo efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties have not been extensively characterized. Given its potency at nAChRs, it may have potential applications in studying neurological disorders, but further studies are needed.
Enzyme Assay
In cell-free receptor binding assays, 3-Br-cytisine's activity is evaluated by measuring its affinity for nAChR subtypes. Membrane preparations from cells expressing specific nAChR subtypes (e.g., α4β4, α4β2, α7) are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand (e.g., [3H]epibatidine or [125I]α-bungarotoxin) and varying concentrations of the compound. The displacement of the radioligand is measured, and the IC50 or Ki is calculated.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based experiments with 3-Br-cytisine typically involve cell lines expressing specific nAChR subtypes, such as HEK293 or CHO cells transfected with the receptor subunits. Cells are treated with the compound, and receptor activation is assessed by measuring ion flux (e.g., calcium influx using fluorescent dyes) or by electrophysiological techniques (e.g., patch-clamp recording). The EC50 for receptor activation is determined from the concentration-response curve.
Animal Protocol
No specific in vivo animal protocols are publicly available for 3-Br-cytisine. If in vivo studies were to be conducted, typical protocols might involve rodent models of neurological disorders, where the compound would be administered, and behavioral or physiological endpoints would be measured.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data is publicly available for 3-Br-cytisine. As a research compound, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties have not been extensively characterized. The compound is a small molecule (molecular weight 269.14) that is typically used in in vitro experiments.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is publicly available for 3-Br-cytisine. In cell-based assays, it shows activity at nanomolar concentrations, indicating a potential therapeutic window. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic applications. No systemic toxicity studies have been reported.
