Anagyrine hydrochloride  (Synonyms: (-)-Anagyrine hydrochloride; Monolupine hydrochloride; Rhombinine hydrochloride)

Anagyrine ((-)-Anagyrine) hydrochloride is a quinolizidine alkaloid that has been found in Lupinus albus. Anagyrine hydrochloride binds to muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with IC₅₀ values of 132 and 2096 µM respectively. Anagyrine hydrochloride is a potent and effective desensitizer of nAChR, and Anagyrine hydrochloride can directly, without metabolism, desensitize nAChR^[1][2][3].

Anagyrine acts as a partial agonist in both cell lines with EC₅₀ values of 4.2 and 231 μM in SH-SY5Y and TE-671 cells, respectively. Anagyrine is a desensitizer of nAChR with DC₅₀ values of 6.9 and 139 μM in SH-SY5Y and TE-671 cells, respectively^[3].
