Several 6-alkyl analogues of nicotine were examined in radioligand binding and in vivo functional assays. Although (-)6-ethylnicotine (3) binds with high affinity at nACh receptors (Ki=5.6 nM) and produces nicotine-like actions, its n-propyl homologue (-)4 (Ki=22 nM) failed to produce such effects. In fact, (-)4 antagonized the antinociceptive effects of (-)nicotine in the tail-flick assay in mice, but not the spontaneous activity or discriminative stimulus effects of (-)nicotine. Compound (-)4 appears to selectively antagonize only one of the three effects examined and is an interesting cholinergic agent for subsequent investigation.
