- Mechanism of action
Encenicline, a selective, orally active, alpha 7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor agonist (alpha 7 NAchR agonist). Encenicline may have a similar mechanism of action to GTS-21. Auditory sensory gating, a biological measurement of the ability to suppress the evoked response to the second of two auditory stimuli, is diminished in people with schizophrenia. Deficits in sensory gating are associated with attentional impairment, and may contribute to cognitive symptoms and perceptual disturbances. This inhibitory process, which involves the alpha(7) nicotinic receptor mediated release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by hippocampal interneurons, represents a potential new target for therapeutic intervention in schizophrenia.
