BACKGROUND Placebo-controlled trials indicate that cytisine, a partial agonist that binds the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and is used for smoking cessation, almost doubles the chances of quitting at 6 months. We investigated whether cytisine was at least as effective as nicotine-replacement

Nicotine was recently shown to engender d-methamphetamine (MA)-like discriminative-stimulus effects in rats, which may be indicative of shared psychomotor stimulant properties. To further investigate such overlapping discriminative-stimulus effects, nicotinic agonists varying in efficacy and

5-[(1R,5S)-3,6-Diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-yl]nicotinonitrile (A-366833) is a novel nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) ligand that binds to the agonist-binding site ([3H]-cytisine) with Ki value of 3.1 nM and exhibits agonist selectivity at alpha4beta2 nAChR relative to the alpha3beta4 nAChR

BACKGROUND Spanish broom (Spartium junceum L.) is an ornamental, medicinal, and potentially poisonous plant. METHODS Three children, aged 5-6 years, were accidentally poisoned from ingesting a variable number of seeds of Spanish broom. This plant contains several quinolizidine alkaloids as cytisine,
