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".

Tropisetron Hydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: SDZ-ICS-930Tropisetron Hydrochloride (SDZ-ICS-930) is an effective neuroprotective agent that acts as a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, a calmodulin inhibitor, and an α7-nAChRreceptor agonist, with an IC50 of 70.1 nM for the 5-HT3 receptor. Tropisetron Hydrochloride has anti-inflammatory properties and immune-regulating functions, effectively alleviating symptoms associated with chemotherapy and post-surgery. Tropisetron Hydrochloride reduces Ab (HY-P4867)-induced hippocampal neuroinflammation.

Crebanine
0 ImagesCrebanine is an isoquinoline-like alkaloid that can be derived from Stephania. Crebanine is an antagonist of the α7-nAChR with an IC50 of 19.1 μM. Crebanine suppresses the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells, triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, and promotes apoptosis. Crebanine inhibits the AKT/FoxO3a, NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. Crebanine attenuates NOX2 hyperactivation, exhibits antioxidant properties by reducing reactive oxygen species and peroxidation in microglia cells. Crebanine inhibits voltage-dependent Na+ current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Crebanine has high inhibitory activity against gram-positive animal pathogenic bacteria. Crebanine ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion brain damage in middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R) rats. Crebanine significantly improves Scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced cognitive deficits in ICR mice. Crebanine can be used for the study of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cerebral ischemia and Alzheimer's disease.

AT 1001
0 ImagesAT 1001 is an orally effective α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α3β4 nAChR) antagonist with a Ki value of 2.64 nM. AT 1001 reversibly blocks Epibatidine (HY-101078)-induced inward currents in HEK cells transfected with α3β4 nAChR. AT 1001 dose-dependently blocks nicotine self-administration behavior in rats, alleviates gluten-induced gastrointestinal symptoms, blocks tight junction toxin-induced immune responses, and reduces the incidence of type 1 diabetes in rats. AT 1001 can be used in the research of nicotine addiction and celiac disease.

Lupanine
0 ImagesLupanine (D-Lupanine) is a natural ketonic derivative of Sparteine (HY-W008350) with a ganglioplegic activity. Lupanine shows binding affinity for nicotinic receptor with a Ki value of 500 nM.

Thiacloprid
0 ImagesThiacloprid 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.
