AMPA receptor modulator-9

AMPA receptor modulator-9 is an orally active, selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of AMPARs with blood-brain barrier penetration. AMPA receptor modulator-9 selectively potentiates AMPAR activity in human and rat models, with an EC2x value of 0.96 μM in rat embryonic cortex primary neurons. AMPA receptor modulator-9 upregulates BDNF protein expression in rat primary cortical neuronal cultures. AMPA receptor modulator-9 enhances AMPA-mediated excitatory postsynaptic responses in rat and mice. AMPA receptor modulator-9 can be used for the study of cognitive disorders[1].
