| Description: | Protocol 1: The assay was conducted following the literature reference Meyer E. M., et al., Analysis of 3-(4-Hydroxy, 2-Methoxybenzylidene) Anabaseine Selectivity and Activity at Human and Rat Alpha-7 Nicotinic Receptors, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 287: 918-925, 1998. The assay was conducted using the following materials: receptor source: rat brain, radioligand: [125I] α-Bungarotoxin (2200 Ci/mmol) with a final concentration of 1 nM, non-specific determinant: Methyllycaconitine (MLA) [1 μM], reference compound: Methyllycaconitine (MLA), and positive control: Methyllycaconitine (MLA). Incubation Conditions: Reactions were carried out in 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4) containing 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2.5 mM CaCl2 and 1.2 mM MgSO4 at 37° C. for 90 minutes. The reaction was terminated by rapid vacuum filtration onto glass fiber filters. Radioactivity trapped onto the filters was determined by liquid scintillation counting and compared to control values in order to ascertain any interactions of test compound with the nicotinic, ganglionic binding site. |
