SYNONYMS

DATABASE IDS

• CAS Number: 22232-64-0

PROPERTIES

• Application(s): Skeletal muscle relaxant
• Mechanism of Action: Potent non-competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine storage.
• Mechanism of Action: Can be broadly categorized as a cholinergic physiological antagonist, because it reduces the apparent activity of cholinergic neurons, but does not act at the post-synaptic ACh receptor.
• Mechanism of Action: Causes a non-competitive and reversible block of the intracellular transporter responsible for carrying newly synthesised ACh into storage vesicles in the pre-synaptic nerve terminal.
• Mechanism of Action: This transport process is driven by a proton gradient between cell organelles and the cytoplasm.
• Mechanism of Action: Sympatholytic-alpha.
