Description
Anagyrine ((-)-Anagyrine) is a quinolizidine alkaloid that has been found in Lupinus albus. Anagyrine binds to muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with IC50 values of 132 and 2096 µM respectively. Anagyrine is a potent and effective desensitizer of nAChR, and Anagyrine can directly, without metabolism, desensitize nAChR.
