ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to get insight into the central effects of TC-1734 (renamed AZD3480), a selective agonist at the neuronal nicotinic receptor of the α4β2 subtype.Materials and methodsElectroencephalography (EEG) techniques and computerized cognitive tests were performed in young, healthy male volunteers during two double-blind and placebo-controlled studies: a rising single dose crossover study (from 2 to 320 mg) and a rising repeated dose study with a parallel group design…

The present study does not support the therapeutic utility of AZD1446 in ADHD, but its potential pro-cognitive effects remain to be explored in other neuropsychiatric disorders.
