Analgesic and toxic effects of ABT-594 resemble epibatidine and nicotine in rats

Abstract
The present study directly compared the antinociceptive and toxic effects of the neuronal nicotinic receptor agonist ABT-594 ((R)-5-(2-azetidinylmethoxy)-2-chloropyridine) with (−)-nicotine and (+)-epibatidine. Like (−)-nicotine (0.8 and 1.6 mg/kg s.c.) and (+)-epibatidine (0.005 and 0.01 mg
