Methoctramine tetrahydrochloride

Names

[ Name ]:
Methoctramine tetrahydrochloride

[Synonym ]:
N,N'-bis[6-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methylamino]hexyl]octane-1,8-diamine,tetrahydrochloride

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Methoctramine tetrahydrochloride is a potent and cardioselectivity antagonist of M2 muscarinic receptor. Methoctramine tetrahydrochloride can inhibit Muscarine-induced bradycardia in vivo[1][2][3].

[Target]

M2 muscarinic receptor[1]

[In Vitro]

Methoctramine tetrahydrochloride attenuates Acetylcholine (ACh)- and Arecaidine propargyl ester (APE)-induced increases in PG synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner[1]. Methoctramine (0.01-1 μM) tetrahydrochloride causes facilitation of contractions induced by both pre- and postganglionic nerve stimulation in the guinea-pig isolated, innervated tracheal tube preparation[2]. Methoctramine (≥10 μM) tetrahydrochloride reduces responses to both nerve stimulation and exogenous ACh[2].

[In Vivo]

Methoctramine (300 µg/kg; i.v.) tetrahydrochloride strongly inhibits the Methacholine- and Muscarine-induced bradycardia in the anaesthetized rat, respectively[3].
