TLDR
A potent non-opioid analgesic, epibatidine, has been isolated from skins of the Ecuadoran poison frog, Epipedobates tricolor, and its structure determined by MS, IR, and 1 H NMR analyses as exo-2-(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane represents a unique new class of alkaloids.

Quaternary ammonium 3-(aminoethoxy)pyridines as antinociceptive agents.

TL;DR: Quaternization via N-methylation of the terminal amines of a series of 3-(dialkylaminoethoxy)pyridines resulted in analogues that displayed up to 50-60-fold enhanced affinity for nicotinic acetylcholinergic (nACh) receptors.

Homoepiboxidines: further potent agonists for nicotinic receptors.

TL;DR: Homoepiboxidine and the corresponding N-methyl (4) and N-benzyl derivatives were prepared from a 6beta-carbomethoxynortropane and had equivalent affinity/activity to epiboxidines at neuromuscular, neuronal alpha4beta2, and most alpha3-containing ganglionic-type nicotinic receptors.
