Product Description
Oxotremorine sesquifumarate is a mAChR agonist with stronger activation of M2 and may be utilized in neurological research.
Oxotremorine sesquifumarate is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist that primarily activates M2 receptors. The compound has a molecular formula of C36H48N4O14 and a molecular weight of 760.78 g/mol. Oxotremorine is a well-known research tool used to study muscarinic receptor function in the central and peripheral nervous systems. As an M2-preferring agonist, it is particularly useful for studying the role of M2 receptors in cardiac function, where M2 receptors mediate bradycardia, and in the central nervous system, where they modulate neurotransmitter release. The compound is used in neurological research. Oxotremorine sesquifumarate is supplied as a research reagent with a purity of ≥98%. It is not approved for human therapeutic use and is strictly for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), primarily M2 receptors. Oxotremorine sesquifumarate is an mAChR agonist.
ln Vitro
In vitro, oxotremorine (10.5 μM) paralyzes the rat diaphragm's twitch responses to both direct and indirect stimulation[1].
Oxotremorine sesquifumarate is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist that primarily activates M2 receptors. As an M2 agonist, it activates M2 receptors, which are coupled to Gi/o proteins and mediate inhibitory responses such as bradycardia and reduced contractility in the heart. In the central nervous system, M2 receptors act as presynaptic autoreceptors that inhibit acetylcholine release.
ln Vivo
Oxotremorine (10, 5, 2 1 μg; 10 μL) dose-dependently decreases tactile hypersensitivity in rats with sciatic nerve injuries[2].
In vivo, oxotremorine is known to produce a range of effects related to muscarinic receptor activation, including tremor, hypothermia, analgesia, and bradycardia. The compound is used in research to study the role of muscarinic receptors in various physiological and pathological processes. It has been used in neurological research.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for oxotremorine are performed to evaluate its affinity for muscarinic receptor subtypes. Radioligand binding studies using membrane preparations from cells expressing M1-M5 receptors are conducted. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled ligand from each receptor subtype is measured to calculate its binding affinities.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted using cells expressing recombinant muscarinic receptor subtypes. The cells are treated with oxotremorine, and receptor activation is measured by assessing downstream signaling events such as inhibition of cAMP accumulation (for M2/M4) or calcium mobilization (for M1/M3/M5). The potency and efficacy of the compound at each receptor subtype are determined from these functional assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies are conducted in animal models to evaluate the effects of oxotremorine on muscarinic receptor-mediated processes. The compound is administered via various routes, and its effects on tremor, body temperature, heart rate, and pain responses are assessed. The compound is used in neurological research.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed pharmacokinetic data are publicly available for oxotremorine sesquifumarate. As a research compound, its ADME properties would be characterized in standard preclinical studies to guide in vivo experiments.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for oxotremorine sesquifumarate. As a muscarinic agonist, its toxicity profile would be expected to be related to its mechanism of action. Excessive muscarinic receptor activation can lead to cholinergic crisis, characterized by bradycardia, hypotension, salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, and muscle fasciculations.
