The Pathway to Proof‐of‐Concept for BNC210, a Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Alpha‐7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR), for Treatment of Psychiatric Disease

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract BNC210 is an investigational small molecule selective negative allosteric modulator of the alpha‐7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR). It is an anxiolytic compound with a novel mechanism of action. In a series of Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers, psychometric test batteries showed that BNC210 did not cause attention ...
