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".

Monepantel
0 ImagesSynonyms: AAD1566; NUZ-001Monepantel (AAD1566, NUZ-001), an antiparasitic agent, is an orally active mTOR inhibitor. Monepantel triggers autophagy through the deactivation of mTOR/p70S6K signalling pathway. Monepantel is a positive allosteric modulator of a nematode-specific clade of nAChR subunits. Monepantel can be used for the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ovarian cancer.

Dinotefuran
0 ImagesSynonyms: MTI-446Dinotefuran is an orally active and competitive inhibitor and insecticide targeting insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Dinotefuran blocks neural signaling and induces neural dysfunction in insects. Dinotefuran binds to [3H]epibatidine in the neural cord membrane of American cockroach with an IC50 of 890 nM and to [3H]α-bungarotoxin with an IC50 of 36.1 μM. Dinotefuran exhibits knockdown activity (KD50=0.351 nmol/g) and lethal activity (LD50=0.173 nmol/g) against German cockroach. Dinotefuran is mainly used for agricultural pest control, such as field control of piercing-sucking and chewing insects (e.g., aphids, planthoppers), while its environmental toxicological effects (e.g., oxidative stress and reproductive neurotoxicity on earthworms) are also a research focus to assess ecological risks.
