Bioactivity | R-(+)-Cotinine ((+)-Cotinine), a Nicotine metabolite, lacks significant activity across a wide range of pharmacological targets. R-(+)-Cotinine can enhance the Ach-evoked current in human α7 nAChRs[1]. |
Invitro | R-(+)-Cotinine (1 μM) significantly enhances the Ach (40 μM)-evoked current in human α7 nAChRs[1]. |
In Vivo | R-(+)-Cotinine (0.3-10 mg/kg; a single i.p.) enhances the effects of a subthreshold dose of Donepezil (0.5 mg/kg) on novel object recognition (NOR) performance[1]. |
