  • Abstract
    N-n-Alkylpicolinium and N,N′-alkyl-bis-picolinium analogues were assessed in nicotinic receptor (nAChR) assays. The most potent and subtype-selective analogue, N,N′-dodecyl-bis-picolinium bromide (bPiDDB), inhibited nAChRs mediating nicotine-evoked [3H]dopamine release (IC50=5 nM; Imax of 60%), and did not interact with α4β2* or α7* nAChRs. bPiDDB represents the current lead compound for development as a tobacco use cessation agent.
