Silent agonists for α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Silent agonists for α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

We discuss models for the activation and desensitization of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and the effects of efficacious type II positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that destabilize α7 desensitized states. Type II PAMs such as PNU-120596 can be used to distinguish inactive compound...
