  • Substituted pyridines as modulators of the mammalian neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
    Patent number: 6303638
    Abstract: Novel compounds are provided that modulate the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), particularly the mammalian nAChR (m-nAChR). The compounds are substituted pyridine derivatives such as analogs of 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-2-imidazolidine and 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-2-iminothiazole. Methods of using the novel m-nAChR modulators are also provided, including methods of using the compounds as m-nAChR probes and as therapeutic agents to treat mammalian individuals suffering from conditions, disorders or diseases that are responsive to administration of an m-nAChR modulator.
