This paper identifies novel ligands binding to MB327-PAM-1, a binding site for resensitizing nAChRs, including cycloguanil, which shows higher affinity and functional efficacy.

This study synthesizes and evaluates new MB327 analogs as resensitizers for desensitized nicotinic acetylcholine receptors after nerve agent intoxication, identifying more potent compounds than MB327.

The paper establishes MS Binding Assays using UNC0642 as a reporter ligand to study the MB327 binding site of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, showing its effectiveness in both in vitro and in silico studies.
