CX1739
Based on 1 Customer Validation
CX1739 is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable, low-efficacy AMPA-glutamate receptor (AMPAR) potentiator. CX1739 enhances excitatory neurotransmission by potentiating glutamate-induced excitatory currents and promoting in vivo long-term potentiation. CX1739 eliminates amphetamine-induced locomotor activity, reverses opioid-, pentobarbital- and ethanol-induced respiratory depression, and exerts pro-cognitive effects in animals. CX1739 impairs motor function recovery and increases the risk of post-injury complications. CX1739 can be used in research related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dementia, respiratory depression and spinal cord injury.

CX1739 (0.03-0.1 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, administered twice: 20 minutes before T1 and 20 minutes before T2) enhances novel object recognition memory in adult Wistar rats[1].
CX1739 (0.03-1 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) significantly reduces the number of arm entries required for SD rats to locate the third baited arm in the win-shift radial arm maze, indicating improved spatial/working memory[1].
CX1739 (4-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) significantly improves attentional performance and reduces impulsive behavior in hooded Lister rats during the 5-choice serial reaction time task (5CSRTT)[1].
CX1739 (5.6-30 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) significantly reduces amphetamine-induced hyperactivity in mice in a dose-dependent manner in vivo[1].
CX1739 (5-20 mg/kg; intravenous administration; single bolus dose) partially reverses alfentanil-induced respiratory depression in rats at a dose of 10 mg/kg, while it completely reverses such depression at a dose of 20 mg/kg[1].
CX1739 (30 mg/kg; intravenous injection; single administration) immediately reverses severe acute respiratory depression induced by the opioid agonist 030418, sodium pentobarbital, and ethanol in male SD rats, restoring their respiratory rate to normal levels[2].
