Abstract

Since the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been targeted for the development of drugs for cognitive function, Parkinson's disease, analgesia, inflammatory bowel disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, Tourette's syndrome, and smoking cessation, considerable effort has been directed toward the identification and characterization of radioligands for this receptor system. 1, 2 Two major classes of ...
