Rivanicline

Rivanicline (RJR-2403) is a neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist. Rivanicline is highly selective for the rat brain cortex nAChRs (Ki = 26 nM, EC50 of 732 nM) and α4β2 subtype (Ki = 26 nM, EC50 = 16 μM) . Rivanicline can significantly restore the learning impairment and cognitive dysfunction. Rivanicline can be used for the study of neurodegenerative diseases (such as schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease) [1][2][3][4][5].
