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-15N3 Hydrochloride
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-10020SCAS No.: 1244134-80-2Synonyms: CP 526555-15N3 HydrochlorideVarenicline-15N3 Hydrochloride (CP 526555-15N3 Hydrochloride) is the 15N labeled isotope of Varenicline hydrochloride (HY-10020). 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 α6β2 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.

Eseroline
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-W856819CAS No.: 469-22-7Eseroline is a potent μ-opioid receptor agonist, which is the hydrolytic metabolite of Physostigmine (HY-N6608). Eseroline is a selective and competitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, with its Ki values for AChE and BuChE being 0.1 μM and 200 μM respectively. Eseroline has nicotinic acetylcholine receptor allosteric enhancing ligand (nAChR-APL) activity, meaning it does not activate the receptor but significantly enhances the signal transduction of Ach triggered by the receptor. Eseroline is neurotoxic, causing cell membrane damage (LDH leakage) and energy metabolism collapse (ATP depletion). Eseroline can be used for the study of Alzheimer's disease.

Isoaminile
0 ImagesIsoaminile is an antitussive agent and an anticholinergic compound with antimuscarinic and antinicotinic properties. Isoaminile blocks the effects of acetylcholine and McN-A-343 at ganglionic sites, inhibits responses to preganglionic sympathetic and splanchnic nerve stimulation, and does not affect postganglionic nerve- or adrenergic-mediated responses. Isoaminile inhibits nictitating membrane contraction and induced hypertension, suppresses isolated guinea pig atrial activity, and stimulates central vagal nerve activity to trigger bradycardia. Isoaminile exerts effects of antitussive action, respiratory inhibition, central nervous system excitation, and cardiovascular function regulation.
