GTS-21 (DMXB-A) is a drug that acts as a partial agonist at neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It binds to both the α4β2 and α7 subtypes but activates only the α7 to any significant extent.Both GTS-21 itself and its demethylated active metabolite 4-OH-GTS-21 display nootropic and neuroprotective effects and GTS-21 is being investigated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease nicotine dependence and most significantly for schizophrenia.
