Carbachol (Carbamoylcholine chloride), an analog of acetylcholine, serves as a valuable tool in the investigation of various physiological responses mediated by nicotinic (nAChR) and muscarinic (mAChR) acetylcholine receptors. These responses include smooth muscle contraction, gut motility, and neuronal signaling.

Nitenpyram (Capstar) is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AchR) agonist, used as veterinary medicine to treat parasites of livestock and pets.

Cholesterol Myristate (Cholesteryl Myristate) is a natural steroid found in traditional Chinese medicine that interacts with various ion channels, including the GABAA receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and the inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

Pyrantel hydrochloride is the hydrochloride form of Pyrantel.Pyrantel is a pyrimidine derivative.Pyrantel is an orally available drug for the treatment of a wide range of parasitic infections.Pyrantel acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent.It acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist for nematodes.The neuromuscular depolarization of Pyrantel causes paralysis in worms.

(±)-Anatoxin A fumarate is the salt form of (±)-Anatoxin A.(±)-Anatoxin A is a potent neurotoxic naturally occurring alkaloid known as a rapid death factor (VFDF), a potent, direct, and selective agonist of the nAchR (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor), also known as the nicotinic receptor agonist.

The quinuclidine PHA 568487 free base is an agonist of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor that was designed to mitigate the bioactivation associated with the core scaffold and subsequently remove associated liabilities with in vivo tolerability.

Unifiram is a nootropic agent.1It increases acetylcholine (ACh) release in the rat cerebral cortexin vivoand induces a long-lasting increase in the amplitude of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in the rat hippocampal CA1 region (EC50= 27 nM). It does not bind to serotonin (5-HT), dopamine, muscarinic, nicotinic, adrenergic, glutamate, histamine, opioid, or GABA receptors at 1 μM. Unifiram (0.1 mg kg) improves memory in non-memory-impaired rats in a social learning test.2It also prevents memory deficits induced by the anticholinergic agent scopolamine, nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine, GABABreceptor agonist baclofen, or α2-adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine in the passive avoidance test in mice when administered at a dose of 0.01 mg kg and prevents memory deficits induced by the AMPA kainate glutamate receptor antagonist NBQX at 0.1 mg kg.1 1.Romanelli, M.N., Galeotti, N., Ghelardini, C., et al.Pharmacological characterization of DM232 (unifiram) and DM235 (sunifiram), new potent cognition enhancersCNS Drug Rev.12(1)39-52(2006) 2.Ghelardini, C., Galeotti, N., Gualtieri, F., et al.The novel nootropic compound DM232 (unifiram) ameliorates memory impairment in mice and ratsDrug Develop.
