Product description:
Cytisine is an alkaloid naturally derived from the Fabaceae family of plants including the genera Laburnum and Cytisus. It’s an acetylcholine agonist, it is widely used throughout Eastern Europe as an aid to giving up smoking. It has a role as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, a phytotoxin and a plant metabolite. It is an alkaloid, an organic heterotricyclic compound, a secondary amino compound, a lactam and a bridged compound.
Product Applications:
It’s as an option in smoking cessation has been the topic of a number of supportive journal articles and editorials.Mulhall 2015, Prochaska 2016, Rigotti 2014, Stapleton 2015, Walker 2016, Zatonski 2015.
Cytisine induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells via a mitochondrial pathway, suggesting potential chemotherapeutic applications.
In vitro studies suggest neuronal protective effects of cytisine through mechanisms that involve downregulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.
