Tazomeline

Tazomeline (LY-287,041) is a drug which acts as a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist.[1][2] It was in clinical trials for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction such as that seen in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, but development was apparently scrapped for unknown reasons.[1][2][3] Another of the patented uses is for the treatment of "severe painful conditions".
