ABT-418 is a drug developed by Abbott, which acts as a partial agonist at neural nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It binds with high affinity to the α4β2, α2β2 and α7 subtypes, but not to the α3β4 subtype.[1][2] It has nootropic, neuroprotective and anxiolytic effects,[3][4][5][6] and has been researched for treatment of both Alzheimer's disease[7] and more recently ADHD.[8][9][10] ABT-418 was reasonably effective for both applications and fairly well tolerated, but produced some side effects, principally nausea, and it is unclear whether ABT-418 itself will proceed to clinical development or if another similar drug will be used instead.[11]
