RJR-2403 (Rivanicline, Metanicotine) is a potent, selective neuronal nicotinic ACh (nAChR) agonist with high affinity to rat brain cortex (Ki=26 nM), does not significantly activate muscle type nAChRs or muscarinic receptors.
RJR-2403 (Rivanicline, Metanicotine) is a potent, selective neuronal nicotinic ACh (nAChR) agonist with high affinity to rat brain cortex (Ki=26 nM), does not significantly activate muscle type nAChRs or muscarinic receptors; RJR-2403 is comparable to nicotine in activating rat thalamic synaptosomes with EC50 of 732 nM; significantly improves passive avoidance retention after scopolamine-induced amnesia and enhanced both working and reference memory in rats, also demonstrates greatly reduced cardiovascular effects; exerts its antinociceptive effect via nicotinic rather than either opioid or muscarinic mechanisms.
