High impact information on Prosalpha7

  • The anthelmintic nicotinic agonist levamisole is unable to activate the Ce21 and alpha7 receptors, but efficiently antagonises their responses to ACh [1].
  • Imidacloprid and nitenpyram were partial agonists and a nitromethylene analog of imidacloprid (CH-IMI) was a full agonist of the alpha7 receptor, whereas their agonist actions on the alpha4beta2 receptor were very weak, contrasting with full agonist actions of DN-IMI, a desnitro derivative of imidacloprid [2].
  • The principal mammalian brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are the alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BGT)-insensitive alpha 4 beta 2 and the alpha-BGT-sensitive alpha 7 subtypes assayed with radiolabeled nicotinoids and alpha-BGT, respectively [3].
