Novel Low Molecular Weight Lignins for use as an Anticoagulant
... Researchers at VCU have developed a novel low-molecular weight (LMW) lignin that exhibits high selectivity and potency as an anticoagulant. These lignins, which are naturally occurring biopolymers, act as functional macromolecular mimetics of low-molecular weight heparins. However, these do not inhi ...

Nicotinic agonist
A nicotinic agonist is a drug that mimics the action of acetylcholine (ACh) at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The nAChR is named for its affinity for nicotine.Examples include nicotine (by definition), acetylcholine (the endogenous agonist of nAChRs), choline, epibatidine, lobeline, varenicline and cytisine.
