3-[(2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl]pyridine
Nicotine is a potent alkaloid that primarily acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It leads to the release of various neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine, which significantly contributes to the development of dependence. Nicotine has stimulating effects and influences cognitive functions as well as the reward system. The substance carries a high potential for addiction and can cause health risks through long-term use.

Receptor Profile
Der NMDA-Rezeptor ist ein ionotroper Glutamatrezeptor, der eine zentrale Rolle bei synaptischer Plastizität, Lernen und Gedächtnisbildung spielt. Er benötigt sowohl Glutamat als auch Glycin als Co-Agonisten zur Aktivierung.
Der GABA-A-Rezeptor ist ein ligandengesteuerter Chloridkanal und der wichtigste inhibitorische Rezeptor im zentralen Nervensystem. Er besitzt multiple allosterische Bindungsstellen für verschiedene Substanzklassen.
Der Dopamintransporter (DAT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Dopamin aus dem synaptischen Spalt entfernt. Er ist ein zentrales Ziel von Stimulants und spielt eine Schlüsselrolle im Belohnungssystem.
