Nicotinic Antagonists
- Name
- Nicotinic Antagonists
- Accession Number
- DBCAT000919
- Description
Drugs that bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors (RECEPTORS, NICOTINIC) and block the actions of acetylcholine or cholinergic agonists. Nicotinic antagonists block synaptic transmission at autonomic ganglia, the skeletal neuromuscular junction, and at central nervous system nicotinic synapses.

Pentobarbital A barbiturate drug used to induce sleep, cause sedation, and control certain types of seizures. Butabarbital A barbiturate drug used as a sedative and hypnotic. Butalbital A barbiturate drug used for symptomatic treatment of tension-type headache in various combinations with acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine, and codeine. Talbutal For use as a sedative and hypnotic. Secobarbital A barbiturate used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Metharbital Metharbital is used for the treatment of epilepsy. Thiopental A barbiturate used to induce general anesthesia, treat convulsions, and reduce intracranial pressure. Primidone An antiepileptic used to treat grand mal, psychomotor, and focal epileptic seizures. Methylphenobarbital For the relief of anxiety, tension, and apprehension, also used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of epilepsy.

Aprobarbital Aprobarbital is a barbiturate derivative synthesized in the 1920s by Ernst Preiswerk. It was determined that the substance was capable of demonstrating sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant effects. A primary treatment... Butobarbital For the treatment of insomnia. Heptabarbital Used mainly for sedation and hypnosis. Hexobarbital For the induction of anesthesia prior to the use of other general anesthetic agents and for induction of anesthesia for short surgical, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures associated with minimal painful... Barbital A long-acting barbiturate that depresses most metabolic processes at high doses. It is used as a hypnotic and sedative and may induce dependence. Barbital is also used in veterinary practice... Dihydro-2-thioxo-5-((5-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-furanyl)methyl)-4,6(1H,5H)-pyrimidinedione Not Available Levacetylmethadol For the treatment and management of opiate dependence. It is sometimes used to treat severe pain in terminal patients. Agmatine Agmatine is being studied experimentally for several indications such as cardioprotection, diabetes, decreased kidney function, neuroprotection (stroke, severe CNS injuries, epilepsy, glaucoma, and neuropathic pain), and psychiatric conditions (depression, anxiety,... Cisatracurium A skeletal muscle relaxant used to facilitate tracheal intubation, muscle relaxation in surgery, or mechanical ventilation. Gantacurium Investigated for use/treatment in anesthesia (unspecified). Hexamethonium A nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been... Isoflurane An inhaled general anesthetic used in surgery.
