(±)-Epibatidine dihydrochloride hydrate is a synthetic derivative of epibatidine, which is a potent alkaloid that can be isolated from the skin of the poison frog Epipedobates tricolor. Epibatidine is the most potent nAChR (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor) agonist known. Discoveries in the nAChR field have stimulated interest in nAChR-targeted compounds. It mimicks the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The dihydrochloride version of epibatidine increases its solubility in water, making it more suitable for research and experimental applications in a laboratory setting.
