ABSTRACT
Weak partial agonists that promote a desensitized state of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) have been associated with anti-inflammatory effects. Exemplar compounds feature a tertiary or quaternary ammonium group. We report the synthesis, structure, and electrophysiological evaluation of 1-ethyl-4-phenylthiomorpholin-1-ium triflate, a weak partial agonist with a sulfonium isostere of the ammonium pharmacophore. These results offer new insights in understanding nAChR-ligand interactions and provide a new chemical space to target the α7 nAChR.
