LY-404187
LY-404187 is an AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulator which was developed by Eli Lilly and Company. It is a member of the biarylpropylsulfonamide class of AMPA receptor potentiators. LY-404187 has been demonstrated to enhance cognitive function in animal studies, and has also shown effects suggesting antidepressant action as well as having possible application in the treatment of schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and ADHD. These effects appear to be mediated through multiple mechanisms of action secondary to AMPA receptor potentiation, with a prominent effect seen in research being increased levels of BDNF Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or abrineurin, is a protein found in the and the periphery. that, in humans, is encoded by the ''BDNF'' gene. BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the cano ... in the brain. It may therefore be continued on to human trials, although Eli Lilly has developed a whole family of biar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Biarylpropylsulfonamide
AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulators are positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the AMPA receptor, receptor (AMPR), a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor which mediates most fast synaptic cleft, synaptic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Medical applications AMPAR PAMs have cognition- and memory-enhancing and antidepressant-like effects in preclinical models. It has potential medical applications in the treatment of cognitive impairment (e.g., Schizophrenia#Cognitive dysfunction, cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia, mild cognitive impairment), dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), depression (mood), depression, and for other indications. They can broadly be divided into low-impact and high-impact potentiators, with high-impact potentiators able to produce comparatively more robust increases in AMPAR activation. However, high-impact AMPAR PAMs can cause motor coordination motor disorder, disruptions, convulsions, and neurotoxicity at sufficiently high d ...
