JNJ-47965567 is a potent P2X7 antagonist with high affinity for the rat receptor (pKi = 8.7). It is centrally available after systemic injection with a superior brain:plasma distribution compared to other available P2X7 antagonists. JNJ-47965567 was shown to suppress epileptic seizures in a mouse model of epilepsy. It appears to have a disease modifying effect since spontaneous seizure rates did not increase once treatment with JNJ-477965567 was stopped.

Neuroinflammation is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis and maintenance of temporal lobe epilepsy, but the underlying cell and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The P2X7 receptor is an ionotropic receptor predominantly expressed on the surface of microglia, although

An increasing body of evidence suggests that the purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 7 (P2X7) in the CNS may play a key role in neuropsychiatry, neurodegeneration and chronic pain. In this study, we characterized JNJ-47965567, a centrally permeable, high-affinity
Dysregulated immunity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders but its contribution to synaptic and behavioral deficits in Rett syndrome (RTT) remains unknown. P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs) are unique purinergic receptors with pro-inflammatory functions. Here, we report in a
