Sazetidine-A (6-[5-(azetidin-2-ylmethoxy)pyridin-3-yl]hex-5-yn-1-ol or AMOP-H-OH) is a "silent desensitizer" of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), meaning that it desensitizes the receptor without first activating it. Later it was shown that Sazetidine-A is an agonist of native and recombinant alpha4beta2 nAChRs but shows differential efficacy on alpha4beta2 nAChRs subtypes. In animal models it is able to regulate the gain in body weight, alcohol and nicotine dependence. Sazetidine-A exerts analgesic, antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.

Sample Use Guides

In the absence of PNU-120596, sazetidine-A elicited mecamylamine-sensitive increases in fluorescence in SH-SY5Y cells (EC50 4.2 µM) but no responses from primary cortical neurons. In the presence on PNU-120596, an additional response to sazetidine-A was observed in SH-SY5Y cells (EC50 0.4 µM) and robust responses were recorded in 14 % of cortical neurons.
