General description

CX546, a benzoylpiperidine derivative ampakine is an analog of CX516.

Application

CX546 has been used as positive allosteric modulator for the glutamatergic receptor α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CX546 has antipsychotic functionality and has the potential to treat schizophrenia. It improves the defects associated with the prepulse inhibition (PPI) and latent inhibition (LI) in mice lacking metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5). Additionally, CX546 potentiates synaptic plasticity, elicits neuroprotection and promotes the neurotrophin expression.

CX516 (BDP-12) and CX546, two first-generation benzamide-type AMPA receptor modulators, were compared with regard to their influence on AMPA receptor-mediated currents, autaptic responses in cultured hippocampal neurons, hippocampal excitatory postsynaptic currents, synaptic field potentials, and agonist binding. The two drugs

AMPAkines augment the function of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in the brain to increase excitatory outputs. These drugs are known to relieve persistent pain. However, their role in acute pain is unknown. Furthermore, a specific molecular and anatomic target for
