Cytisine

InhA, Func 485-35-8
Catalog No. ABIN4869968

Quick Overview for Cytisine (ABIN4869968)

Application

Inhibition Assay (InhA), Functional Studies (Func)
  • Purpose

    Cytisine is an alkaloid that is found naturally in several plant genera such as Laburnum and Cytisus of the family Fabaceae. Recent studies have shown it to be a more effective and significantly more affordable smoking cessation treatment than nicotine replacement therapy. Also known as baptitoxine or sophorine, cytisine has been used as a smoking cessation treatment since 1964, and is relatively unknown in regions outside of central and Eastern Europe. Cytisine is a partial nicotinic acetylcholine agonist with a half-life of 4.8 hours. Recent Phase III clinical trials using Tabex (a brand of Cytisine marketed by Sopharma AD) have shown similar efficacy to varenicline, but at a fraction of the cost.

    Storage Comment

    For the majority of compounds, they could be dissolved in DMSO or other organic solvent.
    Their stock solution can be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months and aliquoted for sampling convenience.
    Several freeze/thaw cycles should not damage the activity of our small molecule products.
    However, in many instances the aqueous solutions of some compounds need to be made fresh and cannot be stored. For these compounds, their solution should be prepared just before use and stored no longer than 24 hours.
