Naphthylvinylpyridine (NVP) is a naphthalene derivative that possesses anticholinergic activity similar to that of atropine.

However, NVP's method of acetylcholine (ACh) antagonism involves inhibiting the enzyme choline acetyltransferase.

[1] Several NVP derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit choline acetyltransferase and protect against nerve toxins.
