Desformylflustrabromine (dFBr; 1) and desformylflustrabromine-B (dFBr-B; 2) have been previously isolated from natural sources, and the former has been demonstrated to be a novel and selective positive allosteric modulator of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors. The present study describes the synthesis of water-soluble salts of 1 and 2, and confirms and further investigates the actions of 1 and 2 using two-electrode voltage clamp recordings.
Graphical abstractThe present investigation reports the synthesis of desformylflustrabromine (dFBr; 1) and desformylflustrabromine-B (dFBr-B; 2) as their water-soluble hydrochloride salts and examines their action as positive allosteric modulators of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors using two-electrode voltage clamp recordings.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
