PNU-282987 is a selective α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(α7 nAChR) agonist with Ki of 26 nM; no affinity for α1β1γδ and α3β4 nAChRs (IC50 ≥ 60 μM).

Kinase inhibition assays : Kinase inhibition is measured by the use of radiometric assays conducted by Kinase Profiler service. Briefly, in the presence or absence of SKLB1002, VGFR2 (5–10 mU) is incubated in 25-μL reaction solution containing 8 mmol/L 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS), pH 7.0, 0.2 mmol/L EDTA, 0.33 mg/mL myelin basic protein, 10 mmol/L Mg acetate, and γ-[33P]ATP. After incubation for 40 minutes at room temperature, the reaction is stopped and 10 μL of the reaction solution is then spotted onto a P30 filtermat and washed 3 times for 5 minutes in 75 mmol/L phosphoric acid and once in methanol prior to scintillation counting.
