(E)-metanicotine Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

(E)-metanicotine (TC-2403, RJR-2403, (E)-metanicotine) is a partial agonist at neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, binding primarily to the α4β2 subtype. It was originally developed as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease for its nootropic effects but has also been found to inhibit the production of Interleukin-8. It has subsequently been developed as a potential anti-inflammatory treatment for ulcerative colitis. (E)-metanicotine also has stimulant and analgesic actions which are thought due to increased noradrenaline release.
