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".

Lonafarnib (Standard)
0 ImagesSynonyms: Sch66336 (Standard)Lonafarnib (Standard) (Sch66336 (Standard)) is the analytical standard of Lonafarnib (HY-15136). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Lonafarnib (Sch66336) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier penetrant farnesyltransferase (FPTase) inhibitor. Lonafarnib increases the phosphorylation levels of Akt, CaMKII and CREB, upregulates BDNF expression in the hippocampus, elevates the content of α7nAChR on cell membranes, and blocks the isoprenylation of H-Ras. Lonafarnib repairs synapses and reverses spatial memory deficits in Aβ1-42 model mice. Lonafarnib inhibits RSV fusion and replication, and alleviates virus-induced lung injury. Lonafarnib activates the lysosomal and autophagic pathways, and reduces the phosphorylation and aggregation of tau. Lonafarnib acts synergistically with Sorafenib (HY-10201) to promote apoptosis, and inhibits the proliferation and invasion of melanoma cells. Lonafarnib inhibits the farnesylation of progerin, repairs nuclear membrane defects, and activates the cGAS-STING-STAT1 signaling pathway. Lonafarnib can be used in research related to diseases including Alzheimer's disease, viral infections, melanoma, and progeria.

Magnocurarine chloride
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-N6609BCAS No.: 75413-87-5Magnocurarine chloride 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 chloride 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 chloride does not affect the spinal multineuronal reflex in frogs. Magnocurarine chloride exhibits biological activity similar to that of tubocurarine (HY-125901) in various animal models.
