Cytisinicline (cytisine) is a plant-derived alkaloid used as a smoking cessation aid. It acts as a partial agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, similar in mechanism to varenicline. Cytisinicline has a long history of use in Eastern Europe for smoking cessation and was recently being investigated for broader approval in other regions.
