Methanone, [2-amino-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-thienyl]phenyl-

Biological Activity

VCP171 is a positive allosteric modulator of adenosine A1 receptors (EC50 = 15.8 μM in a kinetic assay measuring agonist dissociation).1. It reduces AMPA receptor-mediated evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs) in lamina I and lamina II neurons in a rat model of neuropathic pain (EC50s = 1.995 and 0.251 μM, respectively) to a greater extent than in sham control animals (EC50s = 2.512 and 0.631 μM, respectively).2
