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".

Ispronicline
0 ImagesSynonyms: TC-1734; ACD3480Ispronicline (TC-1734), an orally active, brain-selective α4β2 nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist, has shown memory-enhancing properties in rodents and a good tolerability profile. Ispronicline binds to the α4β2 nAChR with high affinity (Ki=11 nM) and is highly selective to other nAChRs such as α7 nAChR and α3β4 nAChR.

Proadrenomedullin (1-20), human
0 ImagesSynonyms: ProAM N20, Human; PAMP-20, humanProadrenomedullin (1-20), human is a potent hypotensive and catecholamine release–inhibitory peptide released from chromaffin cells. Proadrenomedullin (1-20) inhibits catecholamine secretion in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells (IC50 ≈ 350 nM) by suppressing Na+/Ca2+ influx and blocking desensitization. Proadrenomedullin (1-20), human specifically acts on nicotinic cholinergic receptors in a non competitive manner. Proadrenomedullin (1-20), human can be used for research on conditions such as hypertension.

Pozanicline dihydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: ABT-089 dihydrochloridePozanicline dihydrochloride (ABT-089 dihydrochloride) is an orally bioavailable nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist with a Ki of 16.7 nM for binding to [3H]cytisine sites. Pozanicline is an α4β2-selective nAChR agonist, which binds to rat brain α4β2 nAChR with a Ki of 17 nM while binding to α7 nAChR is insignificant.

Anagyrine
0 ImagesAnagyrine ((-)-Anagyrine) is a quinolizidine alkaloid that has been found in Lupinus albus. Anagyrine binds to muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with IC50 values of 132 and 2096 µM respectively. Anagyrine is a potent and effective desensitizer of nAChR, and Anagyrine can directly, without metabolism, desensitize nAChR.
