Description
Rivanicline (RJR-2403) hemioxalate is a neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist. Rivanicline hemioxalate 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 hemioxalate can significantly restore the learning impairment and cognitive dysfunction. Rivanicline hemioxalate can be used for the study of neurodegenerative diseases (such as schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease)
