Pirenzepine monohydrochloride

개요Pirenzepine is an antagonist of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Ki = 11.48 nM). It is selective for M1 over M2, M3, and M4 receptors (Kis = 602.56, 151.36, and 199.53 nM, respectively). Pirenzepine inhibits ascending reflex contraction of the circular smooth muscle in isolated guinea pig ileal segments induced by intraluminal balloon inflation (IC50 = 501.19 nM). It inhibits methacholine-induced increases in ileal pressure in guinea pigs (ID50 = 724.44 nmol/kg). Pirenzepine inhibits oxotremorine-induced gastric ulcer, gastric acid secretion, and salivation in rats (ED50s = 13, 37.5, and 620 μg/kg i.v., respectively). It prevents form-deprivation myopia (FDM) in a chick model of experimental myopia.

일반 설명Pirenzepine dihydrochloride is an anticholinergic agent. It is also considered as an antiulcer drug. It is used to treat myopia, gastric and duodenal ulcers. Pirenzepine dihydrochloride induces the dimerization of muscarinic M1 receptors.
