Abstract

A series of bivalent ligands 6a-d of epibatidine were synthesized. All four ligands showed nanomolar binding affinities at six neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes in competition binding assays. In contrast to epibatidine, these bivalent ligands are weak partial agonists at the alpha3beta4 nAChR as shown by functional assays.
