UFR2709 hydrochloride
UFR2709 hydrochloride is a blood-brain barrier-permeable, non-selective competitive antagonist of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). UFR2709 hydrochloride exerts anxiolytic effects in adult zebrafish, reduces alcohol-seeking behavior, ethanol consumption and ethanol preference in rats, increases water intake in rats, and does not alter locomotor/grooming activity or body weight in rats. UFR2709 hydrochloride can be used in research related to anxiety disorders, nicotine addiction, alcoholism and alcohol dependence.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
UFR2709 hydrochloride has a theoretical cLogP value of 2.5 and 2.15, and an experimental Log D7.4 value of 1.14, indicating it has the capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
UFR2709 hydrochloride (1-10 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 17 days) reduces ethanol consumption in alcohol-preferring rats in a dose-dependent manner, with the 2.5 mg/kg daily i.p. dose delivering the greatest efficacy (56.9% reduction in average ethanol intake) without altering body weight[3].
UFR2709 hydrochloride (10 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose) does not alter locomotor or grooming activity in ethanol-naïve UChB rats[3].

Animal Model:Wistar-UChB (adult male, 240-280 g, genetically selected alcohol-preferring, naïve to ethanol)[2]
-
Dosage:2.5 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 7 days in two separate cycles (days 1-7 and days 63-69)

Reduced total ethanol intake by approximately 55% over the 100-day experiment.
Delayed acquisition of ethanol intake.
Reduced ethanol preference to approximately 60% compared to ~80% in controls.
Lowered total fluid intake during the second stage of the experiment.
Maintained body weight growth curve comparable to controls.
