MeSH Heading: Nicotinic Agonists
Tree Number(s): D27.505.519.625.120.140.700; D27.505.696.577.120.140.700
Unique ID: D018722
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018722
Scope Note: Drugs that bind to and activate nicotinic cholinergic receptors (RECEPTORS, NICOTINIC). Nicotinic agonists act at postganglionic nicotinic receptors, at neuroeffector junctions in the peripheral nervous system, and at nicotinic receptors in the central nervous system. Agents that function as neuromuscular depolarizing blocking agents are included here because they activate nicotinic receptors, although they are used clinically to block nicotinic transmission.
