Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  (+)-Sparteine ​​(Pachycarpine) (2 μM) reduces ACh-induced currents caused by activation of nicotinic ACh receptors (AChRs) in a voltage-independent manner at membrane potentials between -50 mV and +30 mV; the ACh dose-response relationship is altered by 2 μM (+)-Sparteine ​​(Pachycarpine) at -50 mV and -90 mV in a manner typical of a competitive but not competitive antagonist.
