Anatabine dicitrate is a tobacco alkaloid that can cross the blood-brain barrier. It is a potent α4β2 nAChR agonist and inhibits NF-κB activation lower amyloid-β (Aβ) production by preventing the β-cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein.
Anatabine is a minor tobacco alkaloid with a chemical structural similarity to nicotine. Anatabine is produced in plants of the Solanacea family including tobacco, green tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Anatabine is an Aβ inhibitor. (R,S)-Anatabine (tart
Nicotine hemicitrate is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke.
Nicotine monomethiodide is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke.
Nicotine is a naturally produced alkaloid in the nightshade family of plants (most predominantly in tobacco and Duboisia hopwoodii) and is widely used recreationally as a stimulant and anxiolytic. As a pharmaceutical drug, it is used for smoking cessation to relieve withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine acts as a receptor agonist at most nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), except at two nicotinic receptor subunits (nAChRα9 and nAChRα10) where it acts as a receptor antagonist.
