Descriptor English: Nicotinic Agonists
Descriptor Spanish: Agonistas Nicotínicos
Descriptor agonistas nicotínicos
Entry term(s) agonistas colinérgicos nicotínicos
Scope note: Fármacos que se unen y activan los receptores colinérgicos nicotínicos (RECEPTORES NICOTÍNICOS). Los agonistas nicotínicos actúan en los receptores nicotínicos posganglionares, en las uniones neuroefectoras del sistema nervioso periférico y en receptores nicotínicos del sistema nervioso central. Este término incluye los fármacos que actúan como inhibidores de la despolarización neuromuscular, dado que activan los receptores nicotínicos, aunque se utilizan clínicamente para bloquear la transmisión nicotínica.

Scope note: Drugs that bind to and activate nicotinic cholinergic receptors (RECEPTORS, NICOTINIC). Nicotinic agonists act at postganglionic nicotinic receptors, at neuroeffector junctions in the peripheral nervous system, and at nicotinic receptors in the central nervous system. Agents that function as neuromuscular depolarizing blocking agents are included here because they activate nicotinic receptors, although they are used clinically to block nicotinic transmission.
