Pharmacological profile of zacopride and new quaternarized fluorobenzamide analogues on mammalian α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor [PDF]

, 2015
From quaternarization of quinuclidine enantiomers of 2-fluoro benzamide LMA10203 in dichloromethane, the corresponding N-chloromethyl derivatives LMA10227 and LMA10228 were obtained.

Alpha 7 nicotinic receptors attenuate neurite development through calcium activation of calpain at the growth cone.

PLoS ONE, 2018
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is a ligand-gated ion channel that plays an important role in cellular calcium signaling contributing to synaptic development and plasticity, and is a key drug target for the treatment of neurodegenerative ...

Interacting with α7 nAChR is a new mechanism for AChE to enhance the inflammatory response in macrophages

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2020
Acetylcholine (ACh) regulates inflammation via α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR). Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme hydrolyzing ACh, is expressed in immune cells suggesting non-classical function in inflammatory responses.

Human Secreted Ly-6/uPAR Related Protein-1 (SLURP-1) Is a Selective Allosteric Antagonist of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
SLURP-1 is a secreted toxin-like Ly-6/uPAR protein found in epithelium, sensory neurons and immune cells. Point mutations in the slurp-1 gene cause the autosomal inflammation skin disease Mal de Meleda.

Smoking Abstinence Elicits Hyperalgesia: Neural Mechanism, Clinical Implications, and Pharmacological Managements

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
The cycle between nicotine use and pain modulation. Cigarette smoking leads to nicotine entering the body, which binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain, triggering the release of different neurotransmitters, including dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5‐HT), and GABA.

Advances in Targeting Central Cholinergic Dysfunction for Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Pharmacotherapy to Neuromodulation

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review charts the evolution of cholinergic therapies for neurodegenerative diseases—from classical acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) providing symptomatic relief to precision multi‐target drugs and neuromodulation (VNS, DBS, NIBS) that restore dysfunctional circuits. Emerging gene therapy, cell regeneration, and advanced cholinergic imaging

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.
