α7 nAChR 10.8 nM (Ki, for rat α7 receptors) α7 nAChR 16.7 nM (Ki, for human α7 receptors) 5-HT3 Receptor 150 nM (Ki)
A-582941 dihydrochloride targets the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) as a partial agonist. It also binds to the human 5-HT3 receptor. By partially activating the α7 nAChR, it modulates cholinergic signaling pathways involved in cognition. Its high affinity (Ki = 10.8 nM in rat brain) and selectivity make it a valuable probe. |

| ln Vitro |
In PC12 cells, A-582941 (0.1-100 μM) prevents cell death brought on by NGF withdrawal[2]. The number of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSCs) increases by 260±70%, the sum of amplitudes by 220±30%, and the total of areas by 210±40% when A-582941 (100 nM) is administered[2]. In PC12 cells, A-582941 raises ERK1/2 phosphorylation with an EC50 of 95 nM[2].
In vitro, A-582941 dihydrochloride binds to α7 nAChRs with high affinity, exhibiting Ki values of 10.8 nM (rat) and 16.7 nM (human). It also binds to the human 5-HT3 receptor with a Ki of 150 nM. As a partial agonist, it activates the α7 receptor and its downstream signaling pathways, such as ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation, which are involved in cognitive function. |
| ln Vivo |
In freely moving rats, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFCx) exhibits a moderate increase in ACh release when administered intraperitoneally (3 μM/kg) once daily for three days[2]. A-582941 (0.01-1.00 μM/kg, ip) enhances cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation in the cingulate cortex of mice and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in the hippocampus in a dose-dependent manner[2]. In the mouse cingulate cortex, A-582941 (0.1-1.0 μM /kg, ip) causes dose-dependent increases in Ser-9 GSK-3β phosphorylation[2]. Following oral dosing (mouse 1.0, rat 6.2, dog 3.0, monkey 3.0 μM/kg), A-582941 has high oral bioavailability (mouse ~100%, rat 90%, dog 22%, monkey 50%) and Cmax (mouse 18, rat 114, dog 79, monkey 39 ng/mL)[2]. Following intravenous administration (mouse 1.0, rat 6.2, dog 0.5, monkey 0.5 μM/kg), A-582941 displays the terminal elimination half-lives (mouse 1.4, rat 1.5, dog 1.4, monkey 2.0 h), plasma clearance (mouse 7.9, rat 4.7, dog 5.3, monkey 1.6 L/h/kg), and volumes of distribution (mouse 11.4, rat 9.2, dog 7.9, monkey 3.9 L/kg).
In vivo, A-582941 dihydrochloride enhances cognitive performance in behavioral models, including tasks that capture working memory, short-term recognition memory, memory consolidation, and sensory gating deficits. It activates signaling pathways (e.g., ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation) associated with cognition. In a series of assessments of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system functions, it demonstrated a favorable secondary pharmacodynamic and tolerability profile. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based assays for A-582941 dihydrochloride include radioligand binding studies to determine its affinity (Ki) for α7 nAChRs and 5-HT3 receptors. Membranes from rat brain or human frontal cortex are incubated with a radiolabeled ligand (e.g., [125I]-α-bungarotoxin for α7 nAChR) and varying concentrations of the compound. The Ki values are calculated from displacement curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular assays, cells expressing α7 nAChRs are treated with A-582941 dihydrochloride. Its partial agonist activity is confirmed by measuring receptor-mediated signaling. For example, its ability to induce calcium influx or activate downstream kinases like ERK1/2 and CREB can be assessed. The compound's effects are compared to full agonists to confirm its partial agonist profile.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (Sprague-Dawley) CD rats (250-275 g)[2]
Doses: 3 μM/kg Route of Administration: Ip one time/day for 3 days Experimental Results: Increased the releases of Ach. The effect remained stable after the second and third administration. In vivo animal studies with A-582941 dihydrochloride typically involve administering the compound to rodents (e.g., via intraperitoneal injection). Its effects on cognitive function are then evaluated using behavioral paradigms such as the novel object recognition test or the Morris water maze. The compound's ability to enhance performance in these models supports its potential for treating cognitive deficits. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
A-582941 dihydrochloride has a molecular weight of 353.29 g/mol and a molecular formula of C17H22Cl2N4. It is a selective and brain-penetrant compound. It is typically supplied as a solid with high purity (e.g., 99.55%). It is soluble in DMSO up to 55 mg/mL and is for research use only.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of A-582941 dihydrochloride is not fully detailed. However, in a series of safety pharmacology assessments (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, CNS), it demonstrated a favorable tolerability profile. This suggests it has an acceptable preliminary safety window for use as a research tool. It is not for human consumption.
