The efficacy of an allosteric modulator of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in a murine model of stroke by Katherine Hernandez, Nathan Jones, Sterling B. Ortega

“…Using a murine transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model, we sought to evaluate the neurotherapeutic efficacy of a positive allosteric modulator of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR), PNU-120596 (PNU), specifically examining whether PNU would modulate stroke-induced neurological dysfunction and neuropathology, with modulation of neuroinflammation as a possible mechanism.MethodsYoung male C57BL/6J mice received a subcutaneous injection of 20mg/kg of vehicle (DMSO) or PNU-120596 immediately after reperfusion, and infarct area and Bederson score were analyzed 24 hours post-stroke. …”
