Thiol-reactive analogues of galanthamine, codeine and morphine as potential probes to interrogate allosteric binding within nAChRs [PDF]
Alkaloids including galanthamine (1) and codeine (2) are reported to be positive allosteric modulators of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) but the binding sites responsible for this activity are not known with certainty.

Flavonoid Oxime Carbamate Derivatives: Reversal of Multidrug Resistance in Cancer Cells
A set of 23 new flavonoid oxime carbamates was synthesized and evaluated as multidrug resistance (MDR) reversers in ABCB1‐transfected mouse lymphoma cells. All derivatives strongly inhibited P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp) efflux activity in a transport assay, while most selected compounds behaved as ATPase inhibitors. In drug combination assays, they interacted
