Product Description
GTS 21 dihydrochloride is a partial agonist of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs); also a weak α4β2 and 5-HT3 antagonist at micromolar concentrations. Exhibits improved sensory inhibition in DBA/2 mice following both acute and chronic administration. Also shown to improve memory in several animal models; facilitates hippocampal long-term potentiation. Also has anti-inflammatory effects independent of α7 nAChRs.Product Specifications
