Itameline (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code name RU-47213) is a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist which was under development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and memory disorders but was never marketed.[1][2][3] It has been referred to as a "nootropic" (cognitive enhancer).[4][5]

Itameline is a prodrug of RU-35963, an arecoline derivative.[6][7][2] It is an agonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine M1 receptor as well as of other muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.[8][6][9][7][2] Itameline is described as being superior to arecoline in terms of potency, central selectivity, and duration of action.[6][7] The drug shows antiamnesic effects in animals, for instance reversing scopolamine-induced memory deficits.[10][6][2][3] Structurally, it is a tetrahydropyridine similarly to xanomeline and milameline.[11]

Itameline was first described in the scientific literature by 1992.[3] It was under development by Hoechst Marion Roussel and reached phase 2 clinical trials by 1998 prior to the discontinuation of its development.[12][7][4]
