UB-165

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

UB-165‏‎ is a drug that acts as a potent agonist for both the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and the serotonin receptors. It is used in scientific research to understand the interaction between these two systems.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

UB-165‏‎ is a cholinergic drug, meaning it interacts with the cholinergic system in the brain. This system uses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to send signals between nerve cells. UB-165‏‎ acts as an agonist for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, meaning it binds to these receptors and activates them.

In addition to its effects on the cholinergic system, UB-165‏‎ also interacts with the serotonergic system. This system uses the neurotransmitter serotonin to send signals. UB-165‏‎ acts as an agonist for the serotonin receptors, meaning it also binds to these receptors and activates them.

Uses in Research[edit | edit source]

UB-165‏‎ is used in scientific research to understand the interaction between the cholinergic and serotonergic systems. By activating both the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and the serotonin receptors, researchers can study the effects of these two systems working together.
