CID 657341

개요Dicyclomine is an M1 and M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist (Kis = 3.16 and 44.7 nM, respectively). It inhibits inositol phosphate accumulation induced by the non-selective acetylcholine agonist carbamoylcholine (carbachol; ) in guinea pig cortex (Ki = 12 nM; pA2 = 7.88). Dicyclomine (10 mg/kg, i.v.) inhibits potassium-induced contraction of ileum, colon, and duodenum in anesthetized rats by 21.85, 30.81, and 37.86%, respectively. Formulations containing dicyclomine have been used to treat functional and irritable bowel syndrome and to relieve muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract.

용도Dicyclomine Hydrochloride can be used as medication to treat gastric diseases.

일반 설명Dicyclomine hydrochloride,2-(diethylamino)ethyl bicyclohexyl-1-carboxylatehydrochloride (Bentyl), has some muscarinic receptorsubtype selectivity. It binds more firmly to M1 and M3 thanto M2 and M4 receptors.76Dicyclomine hydrochloride has one eighth of the neurotropicactivity of atropine and approximately twice themusculotropic activity of papaverine. This preparation, firstintroduced in 1950, has minimized the adverse effects associatedwith the atropine-type compounds.
