Iptakalim hydrochloride, a lipophilic para-amino compound, is a novel ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) opener, as well as an α4β2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonist[1].
Tribendimidine is an orally active, broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent, with particularly high activity against A. lumbricoides and N. americanus. Tribendimidine is also an L-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist[1][2][3].
Myosmine, a specific tobacco alkaloid in nuts and nut products, has low affinity for a4b2 nicotinic acetylcholinergic receptors (nAChR) with a Ki of 3300 nM[1][2].
Asoxime dichloride (HI-6) is an antagonist to acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) including the nicotinic receptor, α7 nAChR. Asoxime dichloride involves in modulating immunity response. Asoxime dichloride (HI-6) can be used as an antigen and improves vaccination efficacy in the nervous system[1].
αO-Conotoxin GeXIVA is a potent α9α10 nAChR antagonist with an IC50 of 12 nM against rat α9α10. αO-Conotoxin GeXIVA shows analgesic in animal models of pain[1].
α-Conotoxin SIA is a selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonist with high affinity for the muscle nAChR. α-Conotoxin SIA preferentially targets the α/δ interface of the muscle nAChR in mouse muscle. In contrast, for Torpedo nAChR, α-Conotoxin SIA has a much higher affinity for the α/γ than for the α/δ interface[1].
(±)-Anatoxin A fumarate is a natural alkaloid isolated from freshwater cyanobacterium.(±)-Anatoxin A fumarate is a potent nicotinic receptor agonist and exhibits Ki values of 1.25 nM and 1.84 μM for binding to putative α4β2-type nAChR and α7-type nAChR in rat brain membranes, respectively. (±)-Anatoxin A fumarate stimulates [3H]-dopamine release from rat striatal synaptosomes (EC50=134 nM)[1].
SIB-1553A hydrochloride is an orally bioavailable nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) agonist, with selectivity for β4 subunit-containing nAChRs. SIB-1553A hydrochloride is also a selective neuronal nAChR ligand. SIB-1553A hydrochloride is a cognitive enhancer, and has therapeutic potential for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive disorders[1][2].
S 24795 is a partial agonist of α7 nAChR and improves mnemonic function in aged mice for the treatment of aging-related memory disturbances[1].
Coclaurine is a class of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids isolated from Sarcopetalum harveyanum. Coclaurine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) antagonist[1][2].
Vinblastine is a cytotoxic alkaloid used against various cancer types. Vinblastine inhibits the formation of microtubule and suppresses nAChR with an IC50 of 8.9 μM.
CP-601927 is a selective α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist (Ki=1.2 nM; EC50=2.6 μM). CP-601927 shows good brain penetration and antidepressant-like properties[1][2].
