HIDE SMILES / InChI
GTS-21 (also known as DMBX-A), a selective alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist that has demonstrated memory and cognition enhancement activity in human clinical trials. GTS-21 has been studied in Phase II in patients with schizophrenia and in patients with Alzheimer disease. However, these studies were discontinued. GTS-21 was also involved in phase II to reduce negative affect, improve cognition and/or reduce smoking relapse in healthy adult men and women who are chronic cigarette smokers. However, this study was withdrawn. Besides, GTS-21 has participated in phase II to investigate safety and efficacy in adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
