Catharanthine
Catharanthine is a bioactive alkaloid that potently inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function, as demonstrated by its suppression of receptor-mediated diaphragm muscle contractions with an IC50 of 59.6 μM. This small molecule is a valuable research tool for studying cholinergic signaling and neuromuscular junction physiology in both in vitro and ex vivo experimental models.
