| Targets |
Atropine methylbromide targets muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), acting as a competitive antagonist. It competes with acetylcholine for binding sites on these receptors. It exhibited significant inhibitory potency (92.0 nM) in assays targeting Chronic Active B-Cell Receptor Signaling. The compound's quaternary ammonium structure limits its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, resulting in peripheral anticholinergic effects with minimal central nervous system activity.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Atropine methylbromide acts as a potent muscarinic receptor antagonist. It has an IC₅₀ of <0.1 nM in a radioligand binding assay using isolated porcine brain membranes. It exhibited significant inhibitory potency (92.0 nM) in assays targeting Chronic Active B-Cell Receptor Signaling. The compound's ability to inhibit muscarinic receptor-mediated signaling has been characterized in various cell-based assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Atropine methylbromide is used as a mydriatic for dilation of the pupil during ophthalmic examination. Its high polarity makes it particularly effective in relieving pyloric spasm in infants. Due to its reduced central nervous system penetration compared to atropine, it is preferred for peripheral applications where central anticholinergic effects are undesirable. It is also used to reverse neuromuscular block.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The activity of Atropine methylbromide can be assessed using radioligand binding assays. Membranes prepared from tissues expressing muscarinic receptors (e.g., porcine brain membranes) are incubated with a radiolabeled muscarinic antagonist (e.g., [³H]N-methylscopolamine) and varying concentrations of Atropine methylbromide. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of an excess of a competing ligand. The IC₅₀ or Ki values for displacement are calculated from competition binding curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
To evaluate the cellular effects of Atropine methylbromide, cells expressing muscarinic receptors are treated with the compound. The inhibition of acetylcholine-induced calcium mobilization, cAMP production, or other downstream signaling events is measured. The IC₅₀ for these functional responses is determined from dose-response curves. Standard cell viability assays can also be used to assess any cytotoxic effects.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies with Atropine methylbromide typically involve administration to animal models via oral, intravenous, or topical (ophthalmic) routes. In models of pyloric spasm or other gastrointestinal motility disorders, the compound's efficacy in reducing spasms is assessed. Its mydriatic effects are evaluated by measuring pupil dilation in ophthalmic studies. Pharmacokinetic parameters, such as bioavailability and tissue distribution, are also characterized.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Atropine methylbromide has a molecular formula of C₁₈H₂₆BrNO₃ and a molecular weight of 384.308 g/mol. Its CAS number is 2870-71-5. It is soluble in DMSO (149 mg/mL, 387.71 mM). For in vivo use, it can be formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% Saline (4 mg/mL). Powder should be stored at -20°C for 3 years; in solvent at -80°C for 1 year.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicology data for Atropine methylbromide are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As an anticholinergic agent, it can cause typical side effects associated with muscarinic receptor antagonism, such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and urinary retention. Its reduced central nervous system penetration may limit central side effects compared to atropine.

| Additional Infomation |
Atropine methylbromide (Methylatropine bromide) is a quaternary ammonium salt of atropine and a muscarinic receptor antagonist. It is used as a mydriatic for pupil dilation during ophthalmic examination and for relieving pyloric spasm in infants. Its high polarity limits central nervous system penetration, making it suitable for peripheral applications. It is a research tool for studying peripheral muscarinic receptor function and is not intended for systemic therapeutic use in research settings.
