(±)-Coniine (CAS 3238-60-6)
QUICK LINKS
(±)-Coniine is a chemical compound that functions as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. It exerts its mode of action by competitively binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, thereby blocking the binding of acetylcholine. This interference inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle paralysis. The compound′s mechanism of action involves disrupting the normal physiological function of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, ultimately resulting in the inhibition of muscle contraction. This functional role within experimental applications allows for the investigation of the receptor′s involvement in neuromuscular signaling and the study of muscle physiology. (±)-Coniine′s mode of action provides insights into the development of potential therapeutic agents targeting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
