RJR-2403 (Rivanicline, Metanicotine) is a potent, selective neuronal nicotinic ACh (nAChR) agonist with high affinity to rat brain cortex (Ki=26 nM), does not significantly activate muscle type nAChRs or muscarinic receptors; RJR-2403 is comparable to nicotine in activating rat thalamic synaptosomes with EC50 of 732 nM; significantly improves passive avoidance retention after scopolamine-induced amnesia and enhanced both working and reference memory in rats, also demonstrates greatly reduced cardiovascular effects; exerts its antinociceptive effect via nicotinic rather than either opioid or muscarinic mechanisms.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
