Discovery of novel positive allosteric modulators of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor: Scaffold hopping approach

Istvan Ledneczki et al.

Summary: The paper describes the discovery of a novel nicotinic alpha 7 receptor positive modulator through scaffold hopping, leading to the identification of a promising new chemotype with good physicochemical and in vitro parameters. These compounds showed favorable characteristics in vitro and in vivo evaluations, suggesting the potential to improve cognitive performance.

Structure and gating mechanism of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Colleen M. Noviello et al.

Summary: The alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor plays critical roles in the central nervous system and the cholinergic inflammatory pathway as a ligand-gated ion channel. Recent cryo-EM structures of the human alpha 7 nicotinic receptor in different states have provided insights into its gating cycle and functional elements, including a C-terminal latch and an anionic ring that contribute to its high conductance and calcium permeability. Comparisons among the alpha 7 structures have revealed divergence in gating mechanisms within the Cys-loop receptor superfamily.
