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".

Coclaurine
0 ImagesCoclaurine is a class of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids that can be isolated from Sarcopetalum harveyanum with anticancer activity. Coclaurine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) antagonist. Coclaurine is a key molecule in S. tetrandra responsible for EFHD2 inhibition. Coclaurine can downregulate EFHD2-related NOX4-ABCC1 signaling and enhanced Cisplatin (HY-17394) sensitivity. Coclaurine suppresses the stemness and metastatic properties of NSCLC cells. Coclaurine disrupts the interaction between the transcription factor FOXG1 and the EFHD2 promoter, leading to a reduction in EFHD2 transcription.
