Drug that mimics nicotinic beta amyloid receptors can be used to prevent inflammation

Nicotine is a alkaloid found in tobacco plant it has very harmful effects on our body.
It acts on nervous system and block the so call ganglionic receptors initially stimulate and then suppresses activity of brain which is why people feel good for some moment initialy and later on feel depressed.
Nicotine is associated with depressive activity on brain.
It has vasodialator activity which causes blood vessels to dialate and flush the blood at the area it is applied some times vasodialator effect is on entire body result in falling of blood pressure. Drug that mimics and act on nicotinic beta amyloid receptors can be used to prevent inflammation and depression and progression of Alzemers disease can be halted with use of such medicine.
At stanford university this research is under going to find out the new molecule that will act on beta amyloid receptors.
