(Rac)-CP-601927 hydrochloride

Biological Activity

(Rac)-CP-601927 hydrochloride is the racemate of CP-601927. CP-601927 is a nAChR agonist with Ki values 1.2 nM and 102 nM for α4β2 and α3β4 nAChR, respectively[1]. CP-601927 induces significant antidepressant-like effects in mice. CP-601927 could decrease cholinergic signaling as a result of its reduced efficacy or via desensitization of α4β2* nAChRs[1].
