Description

Cytisine CAS NO 15191-27-2 is a naturally occurring quinolizidine alkaloid with significant pharmacological activity. This compound is of high commercial and research interest due to its role as a partial agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It is primarily sought after by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research sectors for development into smoking cessation aids and for advanced neurological studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key starting material or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the synthesis of smoking cessation therapeutics.
• Clinical Research: Used in preclinical and clinical studies to investigate its efficacy and mechanism of action for nicotine dependence treatment.
• Reference Standards: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into dietary supplements aimed at supporting smoking reduction, where legally permitted.
• Biochemical Research: A vital tool in neuroscience and pharmacology for studying nicotinic receptor function and signaling pathways.
• Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) for the production of finished dosage forms.
