(-)-(S)-B-973B targets α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) (EC50 = 0.3 μM for agonist activity in Xenopus oocytes; EC50 = 0.15 μM for positive allosteric modulator (PAM) activity; Ki = 0.2 μM for [³H]-MLA binding) [1]
|

| ln Vitro |
- α7 nAChR agonistic and PAM activity: (-)-(S)-B-973B acts as a dual agonist-positive allosteric modulator (ago-PAM) of α7 nAChR. In Xenopus oocytes expressing human α7 nAChR, it induces inward currents with EC50 = 0.3 μM (agonist activity) and potentiates acetylcholine (ACh)-induced currents with EC50 = 0.15 μM (PAM activity), increasing maximal ACh response by 2.8-fold at 1 μM [1]
- High subtype selectivity: The compound shows no significant activity at other nAChR subtypes (α4β2, α3β4, α9α10; EC50 > 10 μM) or muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1-M5; Ki > 10 μM). It does not inhibit 10 other GPCRs or kinases (e.g., ERK1, CDK2) at 10 μM [1] - Calcium mobilization in α7 nAChR-expressing cells: (-)-(S)-B-973B (0.01-1 μM) dose-dependently induces calcium influx in SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing human α7 nAChR, with EC50 = 0.25 μM. The response is blocked by α7 nAChR antagonist methyllycaconitine (MLA) [1] - Minimal cytotoxicity: At concentrations up to 20 μM, (-)-(S)-B-973B exhibits no obvious cytotoxicity to SH-SY5Y cells, HEK293T cells, or normal human astrocytes (cell viability > 90%) [1] |
| ln Vivo |
- Improvement of cognitive function in mice: C57BL/6 mice were orally administered (-)-(S)-B-973B (1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg) 1 hour before the novel object recognition (NOR) test. The 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses significantly increased the discrimination index (DI) by 45% and 60% respectively, compared to vehicle control (DI = 0.15 vs. 0.22 and 0.24) [1]
- Enhancement of working memory in rats: Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally administered (-)-(S)-B-973B (0.5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg) 30 minutes before the Morris water maze (MWM) working memory test. The 1 mg/kg dose reduced escape latency by 35% and increased time spent in the target quadrant by 40% compared to control [1] - Central nervous system (CNS) penetration: Brain tissue concentration of (-)-(S)-B-973B reached 0.8 μM at 1 hour after oral administration of 10 mg/kg in mice, confirming CNS penetration [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
- α7 nAChR binding assay: Membranes from HEK293T cells expressing human α7 nAChR were incubated with [³H]-MLA (a selective α7 nAChR antagonist) and gradient concentrations of (-)-(S)-B-973B (0.01-10 μM) in binding buffer (pH 7.4) at 4°C for 2 hours. Unbound ligand was removed by filtration, and radioactivity was measured to calculate Ki value [1]
- Two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) assay: Xenopus oocytes were injected with human α7 nAChR cRNA and incubated for 48-72 hours. Oocytes were voltage-clamped at -60 mV, and currents induced by (-)-(S)-B-973B (0.001-10 μM) alone or in combination with ACh (10 μM) were recorded to assess agonist and PAM activity, respectively [1] |
| Cell Assay |
- Calcium mobilization assay: SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing human α7 nAChR were seeded into 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well) and loaded with calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye for 30 minutes at 37°C. Cells were treated with gradient concentrations of (-)-(S)-B-973B (0.01-1 μM), and fluorescence intensity was measured in real-time. For selectivity testing, cells expressing other nAChR subtypes (α4β2, α3β4) were used [1]
- Cell viability assay: SH-SY5Y cells, HEK293T cells, and normal human astrocytes were seeded into 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well) and treated with (-)-(S)-B-973B (0.01-20 μM) for 24 hours. Cell viability was measured by tetrazolium salt-based assay [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
- Novel object recognition (NOR) test in mice: 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into vehicle control, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg (-)-(S)-B-973B groups (n=8 per group). The compound was dissolved in DMSO/PEG400/sterile water (1:3:6, v/v/v) and administered orally 1 hour before the test. Mice were first exposed to two identical objects for 10 minutes (training phase), then to one familiar and one novel object for 10 minutes (test phase). Discrimination index (DI = (novel object interaction time - familiar object interaction time)/(total interaction time)) was calculated [1]
- Morris water maze (MWM) working memory test in rats: 10-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, 0.5 mg/kg, and 1 mg/kg (-)-(S)-B-973B groups (n=6 per group). The compound was administered intraperitoneally 30 minutes before the test. Rats were trained to find a hidden platform in the maze, and escape latency and time spent in the target quadrant were recorded over 4 trials [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption: (-)-(S)-B-973B was rapidly absorbed in mice after oral administration, with a time to peak concentration (Tmax) of 1 hour. The absolute oral bioavailability was 42% [1]. Distribution: The volume of distribution (Vd) of this compound in mice was 1.2 L/kg, with significant central nervous system penetration (brain/plasma ratio of 0.8 1 hour after administration) [1]. Metabolism: (-)-(S)-B-973B showed moderate metabolic stability in human liver microsomes, with a half-life (t1/2) of 4.5 hours. It is mainly metabolized by hydroxylation and has no major toxic metabolites [1]. Excretion: In mice, the elimination half-life (t1/2) was 5.2 hours. Approximately 55% of the dose is excreted in feces and 30% in urine (primarily as metabolites)[1]
- Plasma protein binding: The plasma protein binding rate in human plasma is 89.5 ± 1.2% (equilibrium dialysis method)[1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Acute toxicity: No death or obvious toxic symptoms (weight loss, lethargy, ataxia) were observed in mice after a single oral dose of up to 200 mg/kg of (-)-(S)-B-973B, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was > 200 mg/kg [1] - Subacute toxicity: No significant changes were observed in weight, blood routine parameters (white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets) or liver and kidney function indicators (ALT, AST, creatinine, urea nitrogen) in mice treated with (-)-(S)-B-973B (10 mg/kg, orally, once daily for 14 days). No abnormal lesions were found in the histopathological examination of the major organs (brain, heart, liver, spleen, kidney) [1] - Central nervous system safety: No epilepsy, hyperactivity or sedation was observed in mice or rats at effective doses (0.5-10 mg/kg) [1]

Chemical classification: (-)-(S)-B-973B is a novel α7 nAChR agonist-positive allosteric modulator (ago-PAM), belonging to the [specific skeleton not clearly defined in the literature] small molecule compound [1]
- Mechanism of action: This compound is both an agonist (directly activates α7 nAChR) and a positive allosteric modulator (enhances the receptor's response to endogenous acetylcholine). Activation of α7 nAChR in the central nervous system can promote calcium ion influx, regulate synaptic plasticity, and improve cognitive function (learning and memory) [1] - Target background: α7 nAChR is a ligand-gated ion channel that is highly expressed in the brain (hippocampus, cortex) and plays a key role in cognitive processes, synaptic transmission and neuroprotection. α7 nAChR dysfunction is associated with cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and other central nervous system diseases [1] - Therapeutic potential: (-)-(S)-B-973B is a potent, selective, and centrally penetrating α7 nAChR agonist allosteric modulator (ago-PAM) with good pharmacokinetics and safety. It has shown good efficacy in improving cognitive function in preclinical models and has potential application value in treating cognitive impairment associated with α7 nAChR dysfunction [1] |
