Glutamine 57 at the Complementary Binding Site Face Is a Key Determinant of Morantel Selectivity for α7 Nicotinic Receptors

Nicotinic receptors (AChRs) play key roles in synaptic transmission. We explored activation of neuronal α7 and mammalian muscle AChRs by morantel and oxantel. Our results revealed a novel action of morantel as a high efficacy and more potent agonist than ACh of α7 receptors. The EC(50) for activatio...
