The TAAR1 Agonist PCC0105004 Regulates Amygdala Synaptic Plasticity to Alleviate Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Rats.
Article in Pharmacology research & perspectives, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anxiety disorder is a persistent, widespread, and intractable mood disorder, and the available pharmacotherapies have limited efficacy with significant side effects. Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is an emerging drug target for neuropsychiatric disorders. This study examined the effects and underlying mechanisms of a novel TAAR1 agonist, PCC0105004, in a rat model of CUMS-induced anxiety-like behavior. The elevated zero maze and open field tests test were employed to evaluate the anti-anxiety-like activity of PCC0105004. PCC0105004 dose-dependently attenuated anxiety-like behaviors in rats without affecting spontaneous activity. Morphologically, PCC0104005 decreased the density of dendritic spines in the amygdala. For the mechanistic studies, whole-genome transcriptomic analysis revealed significant differences in the patterns of amygdala gene expression in the CUMS-induced anxiety rat model. These transcriptomic data were further confirmed by using RT-qPCR and western blotting, further revealing alterations associated with genes (Col1a1, DCN, Ewsr1) known to regulate synaptic plasticity, and PCC0105004 was able to reverse these changes. These results suggest that PCC0105004 is a promising anxiolytic candidate for pharmacotherapy of anxiety and warrants further examination and development.
