Azemiopsin is a potent inhibitor of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), exhibiting IC50 values of 0.18 μM against the T. californica nAChR and 22 μM against the human α7 nAChR. This compound effectively blocks acetylcholine-induced currents in Xenopus oocytes that are heterologously expressing human muscle-type nAChR. Azemiopsin serves as a valuable tool for investigating nAChR-mediated signaling pathways and contributes to studies on neuropharmacology and synaptic transmission.
