JWX-A0108 is a selective human α7 nAChR positive allosteric modulator with an EC50 of 4.35 μM. JWX-A0108 potentiates α7 nAChR currents only in the presence of acetylcholine, with no direct activating effect or alteration of desensitization. JWX-A0108 enhances hippocampal GABAergic synaptic transmission by increasing spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents. JWX-A0108 reduces the brain expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 by blocking the NF-κB signaling pathway, and reduces microglial activation by downregulating Iba1. JWX-A0108 effectively improves cognitive deficits, neuroinflammation, and hippocampal neuronal damage in mouse models of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. JWX-A0108 can be used for research related to schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.

In Vitro

JWX-A0108 (0.1-30 μM; 2-5 days) selectively enhances α7 nAChR-mediated currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing human α7 nAChR, with an EC50 of 4.35 μM, and shows no activity on other tested nAChR subtypes or 5-HT3A receptors[1].
JWX-A0108 potently enhances acetylcholine-activated current in Xenopus oocytes expressing human α7 nAChR as a type I positive allosteric modulator with an EC50 of 5.7 μM and 6-fold current amplification[3].

In Vivo

JWX-A0108 (0.03-010 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly ameliorates Dizocilpine (HY-15084B)-induced auditory gating deficits, spatial working memory impairments, and hyperactivity in mice[1].
JWX-A0108 (5 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily; for 19 consecutive days) improves spatial memory impairment (reduced escape latency) in APP/PS1 mice, alleviates neuroinflammation via inhibition of the α7 nAChR-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway, and protects hippocampal neurons[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
