'''Substituted pyrrolidines''' are a class of compounds that contain a pyrrolidine ring. | '''Substituted pyrrolidines''' are a class of compounds that contain a pyrrolidine ring. Pyrrolidine features predominantly in [[Nicotine]] and its analogues that target the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, in the [[racetam]] class of [[nootropic]]s as the γ-lactam pyrrolidone, and in a group of compounds in the [[substituted cathinone]] class where the amine has been integrated into a pyrrolidine ring. | ||
