TC-1698

TC-1698 is a selective α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors agonist with EC50 value of 0.16 μM and 0.46 μM for monkey α7 nicotinic receptor and human α7 nicotinic receptor, respectively. TC-1698 improves memory and has neuroprotective effects. TC-1698 can be used for Alzheimer's disease research[1].
