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".

Acetylcholine chloride
0 ImagesAcetylcholine chloride (ACh chloride), a neurotransmitter, is a potent and BBB-permeable cholinergic agonist.

Methyllycaconitine citrate
0 ImagesSynonyms: MLA citrateMethyllycaconitine (MLA) citrate is a blood-brain barrier-permeable antagonist of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) with an IC50 of 2 nM. Methyllycaconitine citrate inhibits Aβ25-35-induced autophagy by restoring the mTOR pathway, and prevents reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, microglial activation, reduced dopamine uptake, loss of dopaminergic terminals and catecholamine secretion. Methyllycaconitine citrate induces hippocampal glutamate efflux, enhances long-term potentiation, and improves memory acquisition. Methyllycaconitine citrate can be used in research related to Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
