Product Description
Aceclidine (Quinuclidin-3-yl acetate) hydrochloride is a modulator of the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and an M1 receptor agonist (EC50: 40 μM). Aceclidine hydrochloride is a ciliary muscle paralytic, surfactant, tonicity modulator, and optionally a viscosity enhancer and antioxidant. Aceclidine hydrochloride has the potential to study ocular refractive error, xerostomia, Sjögren's syndrome, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, lacrimal gland diseases, and esotropia.
On July 31, 2025, LENZ Therapeutics, Inc. announced the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved VIZZ (aceclidine ophthalmic solution) 1.44%, the first and only FDA-approved aceclidine-based eye drop for the treatment of presbyopia in adults. Samples are anticipated in the United States as early as October 2025, with commercial product to be broadly available by mid-Q4 2025. Direct-to-eye care professional sales and marketing activities to be initiated immediately.
The FDA approval of VIZZ was based upon results from three randomized, double-masked, controlled Phase 3 studies. CLARITY 1 and CLARITY 2 were designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VIZZ in 466 participants dosed once daily for 42 days. CLARITY 3 evaluated 217 participants for long term safety over a 6-month duration of once daily dosing. In both CLARITY 1 and CLARITY 2, VIZZ achieved all primary and secondary near vision improvement endpoints, demonstrating the ability to improve near vision within 30 minutes and last up to 10 hours. Near vision improvement was reproducible and consistent across both CLARITY 1 and 2. VIZZ was well-tolerated with no serious treatment-related adverse events observed in the over 30,000 treatment days across all three CLARITY trials. The most common reported adverse reactions of participants were installation site irritation, dim vision and headache. The majority of adverse reactions were mild, transient and self-resolving.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
mAChR1; mAChR3; muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, particularly the M3 subtype. No specific IC50, Ki, or EC50 values were reported [2]
ln Vivo
Aceclidine (1-10 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection) hydrochloride can reverse hemicholinium-3-induced spatial learning deficits in rats[4].
Aceclidine was evaluated for its effect on refractive errors of the eye. In animal models, topical administration of formulations containing Aceclidine resulted in a reduction of myopia, as measured by changes in refractive error. The effect was observed to be dose-dependent, with higher concentrations of the compound leading to more significant improvements in refractive status [1]
In experiments where spatial learning was impaired by hemicholinium-3, administration of Aceclidine reversed the deficit. This reversal was demonstrated through improved performance in spatial learning tasks, indicating a role in enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission related to memory and learning [4]
Animal Protocol
For assessing effects on refractive errors, animals with induced myopia were treated with topical ophthalmic formulations containing Aceclidine. The formulations were applied to the eye(s) at specified frequencies (e.g., once or twice daily) for a defined period. Refractive error was measured using retinoscopy or similar techniques before and after treatment to evaluate efficacy [1]
In studies on spatial learning, animals were first administered hemicholinium-3 to impair spatial learning. Subsequently, Aceclidine was administered via a specified route (e.g., intraperitoneal injection) at a defined dose. Animals were then tested in spatial learning tasks (e.g., maze tests) to assess reversal of the impairment, with performance metrics recorded and compared to controls [4]

Additional Infomation
Aceclidine is a cholinergic agent that acts as a modulator of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, with a focus on the M3 subtype. It is formulated in storage-stable compositions, often with other excipients to enhance stability and efficacy, for topical ophthalmic use in treating refractive errors such as myopia [1]
[2]
Its ability to reverse hemicholinium-3-induced spatial learning deficits suggests it enhances cholinergic function, which is critical for memory and cognitive processes [4]

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
