Abstrakt: A series of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor full-agonists with a 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-amine core has been discovered. Systematic exploration of the structure-activity relationships for both α7 potency and selectivity with respect to interaction with the hERG channel are described. Further profiling led to the identification of compound 22, a potent full agonist showing efficacy in the novel object recognition model of cognition enhancement.
