Acetylcholine
 
~model for all cholinergic receptors~does NOT cross BBB~will be rapidly destroyed at the synapse...
2
Bethanechol
 
~also a choline ester~muscarinic effects only (NOT nicotinic)~also has slow absorption due...
3
Succinylcholine
 
~also a choline ester~effective at nicotinic muscular receptors (not neural ones, and not muscarinic...
4
Varenicline
 
~non-choline ester~partial agonist of nicotinic receptors in CNS~well-absorbed and crosses...
5
Pilocarpine
 
~non-choline ester~muscarinic effects only (NOT nicotinic)~similar to bethanecholUSES:~topically...

Nicotine
 
~non-choline ester~nicotinic effects only (NOT muscarinic)~acts at all locations of nicotinic...
