Description

Lemairamin (WGX-50 / α7nAChR Agonist)

Lemairamin, also identified in research literature as WGX-50, is a synthetic amide derivative characterized by a dimethoxyphenyl group linked to a phenylpropenamide structure. It is extensively utilized in laboratory research as a selective agonist of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR). By acting on this specific receptor, Lemairamin serves as a critical probe for investigating pathways related to neuroinflammation, pain hypersensitivity, and neuroprotective signaling mechanisms in cellular models.
