Product Description
Desformylflustrabromine HCl is a selective α4β2 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist with pEC50 of 6.48.
Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride (CAS#: 951322-11-5), also known as dFBr hydrochloride, is a research compound that functions as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). It is the hydrochloride salt of Desformylflustrabromine. This compound is a potent and selective PAM that enhances the ionic current through α4β2 nAChRs in the presence of acetylcholine (ACh). It has a pEC50 of 6.48. Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride is of significant interest in neuroscience research for studying the role of α4β2 nAChRs in cognition, addiction, and neurological disorders.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride is the α4β2 subtype of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). It acts as a positive allosteric modulator, meaning it binds to a site on the receptor distinct from the orthosteric (acetylcholine-binding) site and enhances the receptor's response to acetylcholine. This compound selectively increases the ionic current through α4β2 nAChRs in the presence of ACh. It is a selective agonist with a pEC50 of 6.48. By potentiating the activity of α4β2 nAChRs, it can enhance cholinergic neurotransmission, which is important for cognitive function.
ln Vitro
Desformylflustrabromine Hydrochloride has a pEC50 of 6.48 and is a selective agonist of the α4β2 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) [1]. Norflutrimide hydrochloride increased and reduced ACh-induced currents in both the high-sensitivity (HS) and low-sensitivity (LS) subtype formulations; however, the LS subtype exhibited more efficacy of norflutrimide hydrochloride than the HS subtype. Potency was greater for isoforms (pEC50=6.4±0.2) compared to 5.6±0.2. Norflutrimide hydrochloride increased the ACh-induced response of wild-type receptors expressed using the HS subtype preparation by 350±20%, which was identical to the receptor expressed using the LS subtype preparation (350±30%), as reported in [2].
In vitro, Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride has been shown to be a selective positive allosteric modulator of α4β2 nicotinic receptors. It increases the efficacy and potency of acetylcholine. The compound enhances acetylcholine-induced currents by up to 350%. Its activity is typically assessed using electrophysiological techniques, such as two-electrode voltage clamp or patch-clamp, on cells expressing α4β2 nAChRs. The compound's ability to potentiate ACh-induced currents is measured and quantified.
ln Vivo
In vivo, the positive allosteric modulation of α4β2 nAChRs by Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride suggests it may have therapeutic potential for cognitive enhancement and the treatment of neurological disorders. However, specific in vivo efficacy data are limited in the public literature. The compound is primarily used as a research tool to study the role of α4β2 nAChRs in various physiological and pathological processes. Further studies, including animal models of cognitive dysfunction or addiction, are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro receptor binding studies, the affinity and selectivity of Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride for α4β2 nAChRs can be assessed using radioligand binding assays. Membranes from cells expressing the receptor are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand (e.g., [³H]epibatidine) and varying concentrations of the compound. Competition curves are generated to determine the Ki. For functional studies, the compound's PAM activity is assessed using electrophysiology. Cells expressing α4β2 nAChRs are patch-clamped, and ACh-induced currents are measured in the presence and absence of the compound.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, the activity of Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride is evaluated using cell lines that heterologously express α4β2 nAChRs, such as HEK293 or CHO cells. Cells are treated with the compound, and receptor function is assessed using calcium imaging or electrophysiology. The compound's effects on cell viability and cytotoxicity can be assessed using standard assays.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride is typically administered intraperitoneally or orally in rodent models. To evaluate its effects on cognition, animal models of learning and memory, such as the Morris water maze or novel object recognition test, can be used. To study its effects on addiction, models of nicotine self-administration or conditioned place preference can be used. The compound's effects on neurotransmitter levels and receptor occupancy in the brain can also be studied.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride: The compound is not soluble in water without warming, but its solubility in water is approximately 10 mM with gentle warming. Detailed pharmacokinetic parameters, such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution, are not extensively available in the public literature. As a small molecule, it is expected to have reasonable bioavailability.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for Desformylflustrabromine hydrochloride are limited. The compound is used as a research tool and is not intended for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling the compound. Comprehensive toxicological studies have not been published.
