Biological Activity

Description Methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA), the citrate salt of Methyllycaconitine, is a norditerpenoid alkaloid isolated from Delphinium brownii seeds. It acts as a selective antagonist of the α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) and exhibits potential as a drug candidate for Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
Targets
α7 nAChR
In Vivo

Methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA) (6 mg/kg) given alone intraperitoneally does not cause climbing behavior when compare with the saline group. Pretreatment with this compound significantly inhibits methamphetamine (METH)-induced climbing behavior, by about 50%. It does not modify either basal locomotor activity or METH-induced hyperlocomotion. The METH-induced depletion of dopamine neuron terminals is attenuated in mice pretreated with it (250±43 fmol/mg, n=7). A direct effect on body temperature is ruled out because it does not affect basal body temperature (37.0±0.5°C, n=5) or reduce the METH-induced hyperthermia (38.2±0.4°C, n=6, MLA+METH group, n.s. versus METH group).
