nAChR
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
nAChRs (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors) are neuron receptor proteins that signal for muscular contraction upon a chemical stimulus. They are cholinergic receptors that form ligand-gated ion channels in the plasma membranes of certain neurons and on the presynaptic and postsynaptic sides of theneuromuscular junction. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are the best-studied of the ionotropic receptors. Like the other type of acetylcholine receptor-the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR)-the nAChR is triggered by the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). Just as muscarinic receptors are named such because they are also activated by muscarine, nicotinic receptors can be opened not only by acetylcholine but also by nicotine —hence the name "nicotinic".

Varenicline-15N,13C,d2
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-10019S1Synonyms: CP 526555-15N,13C,d2Varenicline-15N,13C,d2 is 15N and deuterated labeled Varenicline (HY-10019). Varenicline (CP 526555) is an orally active partial agonist of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2 nAChR, IC50=250 nM), which is the principal mediator of nicotine dependence. Varenicline is also a partial agonist of α6β2 nAChR and a full agonist of α7β2 nAChR. Varenicline blocks the direct agonist effects of nicotine on nAChR while stimulates nAChR in a more moderate way, being widely used as an aid of smoking cessation.

Methyllycaconitine
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-N2332CAS No.: 21019-30-7Synonyms: MLAMethyllycaconitine (MLA) is a blood-brain barrier-permeable antagonist of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) with an IC50 of 2 nM. Methyllycaconitine inhibits Aβ25-35-induced autophagy by restoring the mTOR pathway, and prevents reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, microglial activation, reduced dopamine uptake, loss of dopaminergic terminals and catecholamine secretion. Methyllycaconitine induces hippocampal glutamate efflux, enhances long-term potentiation, and improves memory acquisition. Methyllycaconitine can be used in research related to Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
