개요Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that binds to nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It mediates motor function at the neuromuscular junction but also has functions in the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. It is involved in learning and memory through actions at nicotinic AChRs in the CNS. The actions of acetylcholine are terminated primarily via the action of acetylcholinesterase, which breaks it down into acetate and choline. Acetylcholine (chloride) mimics the effects of acetylcholine and has been used to determine the function of acetylcholine in various biological processes. Acetylcholine (chloride) inhibits peptide aggregation of p53 mutants in vitro at micromolar concentrations. It increases alveolar fluid clearance in a dose-dependent manner and enhances Na+/K+-ATPase activity, effects which are blocked by atropine , in a mouse model of pulmonary edema.

용도Acetylcholine Chloride is a cholinergic, antiarrhythmic, miotic, vasodilator (peripheral).

일반 설명Acetylcholine chloride exerts a powerfulstimulant effect on the parasympathetic nervous system.Attempts have been made to use it as a cholinergic agent,but its duration of action is too short for sustained effects,because of rapid hydrolysis by esterases and lack of specificitywhen administered for systemic effects. It is a cardiacdepressant and an effective vasodilator. Stimulation of thevagus and the parasympathetic nervous system produces atonic action on smooth muscle and induces a flow from thesalivary and lacrimal glands. Its cardiac-depressant effectresults from (a) a negative chronotropic effect that causes adecrease in heart rate and (b) a negative inotropic action onheart muscle that produces a decrease in the force of myocardialcontractions.
