JNJ-39393406 is an experimental medication which is under development by Janssen Pharmaceutica, a division of Johnson & Johnson, for the treatment of depressive disorders and smoking withdrawal.[1] It acts as a selective positive allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR).[1] It does not act on the α4β2 or α3β4 nAChRs or the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor, and does not interact with a panel of 62 other receptors and enzymes.[2] The drug has been found to lower the agonist and nicotine threshold for activation of the α7 nAChR by 10- to 20-fold and to increase the maximum agonist response of the α7 nAChR by 17- to 20-fold.[2]

As of February 2018, JNJ-39393406 is in phase II clinical trials for both depressive disorders and smoking withdrawal.[1] It was also under investigation for the treatment of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, but development for these indications was discontinued.[1]
