Abstract
A series of secondary and tertiary pyridyl amides as potential central nico tinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) ligands were prepared. Amides displa yed negligible or very low affinity, whereas two amines achieved by reducti on of corresponding secondary amides, showed affinity in the nanomolar rang e for nAChRs.
