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 Tartrate (Standard)
0 ImagesSynonyms: CP 526555-18 (Standard)Varenicline (Tartrate) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Varenicline (Tartrate). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 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.

Thiacloprid-d4
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-B1953SCAS No.: 1793071-39-2Thiacloprid-d4 is the deuterium labeled Thiacloprid. Thiacloprid is an orally active neurotoxic insecticide and also a nAChR agonist. Thiacloprid reduces the viability of healthy cells, depletes reduced glutathione, and increases MDA levels, thereby inducing cytotoxicity and oxidative stress damage. In practical applications, Thiacloprid has lower acute toxicity to honeybees than other compounds of the same class such as Imidacloprid (HY-B0838), but it still significantly impairs the learning and memory function, immune capacity and survival status of honeybees. Thiacloprid induces intestinal microbial dysbiosis and reduces survival rate in middle-aged honeybees, increases the risk of premature collapse in bumblebee colonies, and significantly decreases the final colony weight and reproductive output. Thiacloprid is used in broad-spectrum agricultural pest control, often alone or in combination with Deltamethrin (HY-B1971), and meets the pest management needs of various crops including potatoes, cabbages, various fruits and vegetables, and nuts.

Magnocurarine
0 ImagesMagnocurarine is a neuromuscular junction blocker that inhibits muscle contraction by functionally blocking signal transmission without directly damaging nerve or muscle tissues. In frog, mouse and rabbit models, Magnocurarine exerts a dose-dependent paralytic effect, which progresses gradually from limb weakness and loss of righting reflex to respiratory depression and even cardiac arrest. Although high doses cause complete cessation of movement, Magnocurarine does not affect the spinal multineuronal reflex in frogs. Magnocurarine exhibits biological activity similar to that of tubocurarine (HY-125901) in various animal models.
