DAA1106 — Datasheet

Biological Activity

DAA1106 is a potent and selective ligand for peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), as a potent and selective agonist at the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor.Target:PBRin vitro: DAA1106 binding to PBR was significantly increased in widespread areas in MCI subjects when compared to healthy controls.[1] DAA-1106 is a drug which acts as a potent and selective agonist at the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, also known as the mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein or TSPO, but with no affinity at the GABAA receptor. [2]in vivo: DAA-1106 has anxiolytic effects in animal studies. DAA-1106 has a sub-nanomolar binding affinity (Ki) of 0.28nM, and has been used extensively in its 3H or 11C radiolabelled form to map TSPO in the body and brain, which has proved especially helpful in monitoring the progress of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
