Effects of methyllycaconitine and related analogues on bovine adrenal alpha3beta4* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2002 Oct:971:139-41. doi: 10.1111/j.1749-6632.2002.tb04448.x.

Abstract

Adrenal secretion and binding studies were performed using ring E analogues of methyllycaconitine to assess structural determinants affecting activity on bovine adrenal alpha3beta4* nicotinic receptors. The most potent analogues are as potent as many inhibitors of adrenal secretion. Our data support the potential use of methyllycaconitine analogues to generate nicotinic receptor subtype-specific compounds.
