WHAT DOES LOBELINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lobeline

Lobeline is a natural alkaloid found in "Indian tobacco", "Devil's tobacco", "cardinal flower", "great lobelia", and Hippobroma longiflora. Additionally, it is also found in Lobelia chinensis. In its pure form it is a white amorphous powder which is freely soluble in water. Lobeline has been used as a smoking cessation aid, and may have application in the treatment of other drug addictions such as addiction to amphetamines, cocaine or alcohol. Lobeline has multiple mechanisms of action, acting as a VMAT2 ligand, which stimulates dopamine release to a moderate extent when administered alone, but reduces the dopamine release caused by methamphetamine. It also inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and serotonin, and acts as a mixed agonist–antagonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to which it binds at the subunit interfaces of the extracellular domain. and an antagonist at μ-opioid receptors.
