Tebanicline (tosylate)

Tebanicline tosylate, an analogue of epibatidine, is a neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. Tebanicline tosylate exhibits potent antinociceptive effects and has a high affinity for the α4β2 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit in the central nervous system.
