Anabasine, a tobacco alkaloid, was used as a biomarker of active tobacco use. Anabasine is a selective alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. Anabasine antagonized MK-801-elicited mouse popping behavior, an animal model of schizophrenia.

Coniine is a neurotoxic piperidine alkaloid found in poison hemlock (Conium maculatum L.). Coniine which is considered to be racemic mixture first described by Gieseke in 1827; von Hoffman confirmed the structure in 1881; Ladenburg perfermed synthesis in 1886. Coniine enantiomers are nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists. The relative potencies of these enantiomers on TE-671 cells expressing human fetal nicotinic neuromuscular receptors had the rank order of (-)-coniine > (+/-)-coniine > (+)-coniine.
The rank order potency in SH-SY5Y cells which predominately express autonomic nAChRs was: (-)-coniine>(+)-coniine>
(+/-)-coniine.

PHA-543613 was discovered by Pfizer and has been under development primarily as a potential treatment of schizophrenia. PHA-543613 acts as an agonist to the Neuronal acetylcholine receptor protein alpha-7 subunit. A single human trial was conducted in healthy human volunteers, but the compound has been studied extensively in rat models for schizophrenia as well as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Rapacuronium bromide (RAPLON), a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, is a negative allosteric modulator of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Rapacuronium bromide is indicated as an adjunct to general anesthesia to facilitate tracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgical procedures. There were no specific pharmacokinetic studies conducted to examine the drug-drug interactions of RAPLON. Due to the risk of fatal bronchospasm, it was withdrawn from the United States market less than 2 years after its FDA approval.

Mivacurium chloride (Mivacron) is a new benzylisoquinolinium choline-like diester neuromuscular blocking drug with an onset of action at equipotent doses that is comparable to atracurium and vecuronium but slower than succinylcholine. MIVACRON (a mixture of three stereoisomers) binds competitively to cholinergic receptors on the
motor end-plate to antagonize the action of acetylcholine, resulting in a block of neuromuscular
transmission. This action is antagonized by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as neostigmine. MIVACRON is a short-acting neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for inpatients and outpatients,
as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate tracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle
relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.

Pipecuronium is a piperazinyl androstane derivative, which is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, which was approved under brand name arduan for injection. It is a long-acting neuromuscular blocking agent, indicated as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery. Arduan can also be used to provide skeletal muscle relaxation for endotracheal intubation. Pipecuronium undergoes very little metabolism and is excreted by the kidney and the liver. Owing to its relatively long duration of action and to the residual postoperative neuromuscular block (RPONB), the use of pipecuronium was discontinued in the United States and in several European countries. Because of its excellent safety profile, the use of pipecuronium has been maintained in several countries including China, Russia, Brazil, and Hungary, among others. Its safe use, however, is dependent on the availability of a reliable reversal drug. Although widely used, there are concerns with the use of neostigmine for reversal. Arduan is a powerful competitive antagonist of acetylcholine, since it can bind pre- and postsynaptic (N1) receptors of the transmitters.

Targets:
Levamisole (the trade name Ergamisol), an anthelminthic drug with immunological properties. It also has antitumor activity when administered with 5-fluorouracil in patients with Duke's C colorectal carcinoma; however, this use was discontinued. The mechanism of the antitumor effect is unknown but has been postulated to be related to levamisole's immunomodulatory properties. Levamisole can stimulate antibody formation to various antigens, enhance T-cell responses by stimulating T-cell activation and proliferation, potentiate monocyte and macrophage functions including phagocytosis, chemotaxis and increases motility, adherence, and chemotaxis. Levamisole inhibits alkaline phosphatase and possesses cholinergic activity. The mechanism of action of levamisole as an antiparasitic agent, for example, to treat ascariasis, relates to its agonistic activity to L-subtype nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in nematode muscles. In addition, levamisole was studied for preventing relapses of the steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (SSINS). It was shown, that alone or in combination with steroids, the drug can prolong the time to relapse and prevented recurrence during one year of treatment. However, these studies also were also discontinued.
