Expression of Homer1 in mouse hippocampus and striatum - Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen mouse brain sectionsusingAnti-Homer1Antibody (#APZ-026) (1:400) followed by goat-anti-rabbit-AlexaFluor-488 secondary antibody. A. Homer1 staining (green) in hippocampal dentate gyrus region is detected in neuronal soma (arrows). B. Homer1 staining in the striatum region also shows labeling in neuronal soma (arrows). Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).

Product Page - Scientific background :
The AMPAkine families of drugs are positive allosteric modulators of AMPA receptors in the mammalian brain. These compounds facilitate learning and memory in both humans and animals. Positive modulation of AMPA receptors by AMPAkines can improve channel function by increasing receptor sensitivity to endogenous ligands and specific agonists1.The AMPAkine 1-(quinoxalin-6-ylcarbonyl)-piperidine (CX546) is a brain-penetrating compound, which facilitates AMPA receptor-mediated transmission. CX546 has an EC50 in a hippocampal slice preparation of 150 μM as measured by patch clamp in cultured hippocampal neurons. The action of CX546 on AMPA receptor transmission results in memory enhancement, which has been demonstrated in rodents, primates, and humans2.Recent findings now indicate that CX546-mediated AMPA receptor enhancement strengthens neuronal survival signaling, leading to concomitant reduction in hippocampal damage3.CX546 was researched as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease under the brand name Ampalex.

Synthetic
Molecular formula :
C14H17NO3.
Effective Concentration :
10-630 µM.
Activity :
CX 546 is a selective AMPA receptor agonist1.
Reconstitution and Solubility :
Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in sterile water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. For long-term storage of diluted solutions, we recommend adding 0.1% BSA. Repeat freeze-thawing may result in loss of activity.
