GTS 21 dihydrochloride is a selective partial agonist of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR), possessing anti-inflammatory and cognition-enhancing activities[1]. GTS 21 dihydrochloride also acts as an antagonist of the α4β2 nAChR (Ki=20nM) and the 5-HT3A receptor (IC50=3.1μM)[2]. GTS 21 dihydrochloride is utilized in research related to age-associated memory impairment (AAMI), Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and acute lung injury[3-4].
In vitro, pretreatment of PC12 cells with GTS 21 dihydrochloride (3μM) for 10 minutes, followed by stimulation with ethanol (100mM) for 24 hours, significantly attenuated ethanol-induced cytotoxicity and suppressed the abnormal increase in intracellular calcium concentration[5]. In human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2), pretreatment with GTS 21 dihydrochloride (3–10μM) for 30 minutes prior to LPS (10μg/ml) stimulation for 24 hours significantly inhibited NF-κB nuclear translocation and the expression of the kidney injury marker NGAL, while also reducing the secretion of the chemokine CCL20, thereby mitigating macrophage migration and infiltration into renal tubular cells[6].
In vivo, in Leprdb/db mice aged 10-12 weeks, intraperitoneal administration of GTS 21 dihydrochloride (4mg/kg) twice a day for 8 weeks significantly improved renal function parameters, e.g. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, reduced levels of kidney injury markers (KIM-1, NGAL) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, HMGB-1), and alleviated glomerular mesangial matrix expansion and apoptosis[7]. In a septic acute kidney injury model induced by LPS (5mg/kg; i.p.) in C57BL/6J mice, a single pretreatment with GTS 21 dihydrochloride (20mg/kg; i.p.) 15 minutes prior to LPS challenge significantly lowered plasma TNF-α levels, BUN, and the expression of renal injury markers NGAL and KIM-1, while also reducing the number of apoptotic cells in kidney tissue[8].
