Application(s): peripheral nervous system drug
A drug that acts principally at one or more sites within the peripheral neuroeffector systems, the autonomic system, and motor nerve-skeletal system.
nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist
An agonist that selectively binds to and activates a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
biomarker
A substance used as an indicator of a biological state.
immunomodulator
Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system.
