Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for compounds such as those shown in FIG. 1.1 (compounds A, B, C, and D), 2′substituted nicotine compounds, azetidine compounds, ether linked nicotine compounds (FIG. 1.2 , compounds E, F, G, and H), methods of synthesis of the compounds, methods of treatment of a condition using compounds A, B, C, D, 2′substituted nicotine compounds, azetidine compounds, or ether linked nicotine compounds, methods of selectively stimulating alpha7 nAChR and/or alpha4beta2 receptors, and the like.

Claims (16)

1. A compound having the formula:

wherein:

R2′ is selected from the group consisting of: methyl, ethyl, propyl, hydroxymethyl, an amide, and methylamine; and

R5′, RP5, and RP6 are independently H, or a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from: an aliphatic group, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, and a heterocyclic group;

and wherein when R2′ is methyl, then at least one of R5′, RP5, and RP6 is not H.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R2′ is a methyl group, ethyl group, or a propyl group.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R2′ is —CH 2 NH 2 , —CH 2 OH, or —CONH 2 .

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R2′ is a methyl group, ethyl group, or a propyl group.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R5′ is at the trans position relative to R2′.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R5′ is at the cis position relative to R2′.

7. A compound having the formula:

wherein R2′ is selected from the group consisting of: ethyl, propyl, hydroxymethyl, an amide, and methylamine.

8. The compound of claim 7 , wherein R2′ is a ethyl group, or a propyl group.

9. The compound of claim 7 , wherein R2′ is —CH 2 NH 2 , —CH 2 OH, or —CONH 2 .

10. A compound having the formula:

wherein R2′ is selected from the group consisting of: ethyl, propyl, hydroxymethyl, an amide, and methylamine, wherein one or more of the hydrogens of each of the rings is substituted with an R group, wherein each R group is independently a substituted or unsubstituted group selected from: an aliphatic group, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, and a heterocyclic group.
