Altinicline (SIB-1508Y, SIB-1765F) is a drug which acts as an agonist at neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with high selectivity for the α4β2 subtype.[1][2] It stimulates release of dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain in both rodent and primate models,[3] and progressed as far as Phase II clinical trials for Parkinson's disease,[4] where "no antiparkinsonian or cognitive-enhancing effects were demonstrated", although its current status is unclear.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
