Product Description
Homatropine is an orally bioactive muscarinic acetylcholine receptor blocker (antagonist) that works as an anticholinergic agent.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In the atrium of guinea pigs, homotropine (20 μM) alone results in a dosage ratio of 259, and when paired with hexamethonium bromide, it only yields a dose ratio of 95.0[1]. The muscarinic receptors in the stomach (pA2 = 7.13) and the atria (pA2 = 7.21) that mediate force (pA2 = 7.07) and rate (pA2 = 7.13) are affinities for homotropine[2].
ln Vivo
Rats given a 9 mm x 5 mm conical suppository containing homotropine methylbromide experience rapid blocking of the effects of intravenous acetylcholine on blood pressure and of vagal stimulation on pulse rate[3].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male albino rats[3]
Doses: 9 mm x 5 mm conical suppository
Route of Administration: By suppository
Experimental Results: Blocked cardiovascular responses to vagal stimulation and acetylcholine; 10-20 min after insertion of the suppository the effects of vagal stimulation over a range of 2-16 Hz, 5 V, on pulse rate was virtually abolished and remained unchanged at 45-60 min.

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Medication Use During Lactation
Currently, there is no information available regarding the use of Homatopine hydrobromide during lactation. Anticholinergic drugs may interfere with breastfeeding. A single use of ophthalmic Homatopine hydrobromide is unlikely to interfere with breastfeeding; however, with prolonged use, the infant should be observed for signs of reduced milk production (e.g., unsatisfied, poor weight gain). To significantly reduce the amount of medication entering breast milk after using eye drops, press the tear duct at the corner of the eye for at least 1 minute, then wipe away any excess medication with absorbent tissue.
◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants
As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk
Anticholinergic drugs can inhibit lactation in animals, possibly by suppressing the secretion of growth hormone and oxytocin. Anticholinergic drugs can also lower serum prolactin levels in non-lactating women. Prolactin levels in established lactating mothers may not affect their ability to breastfeed.
Protein binding
No pharmacokinetic data available.

Additional Infomation
Homatropine is a monocarboxylic acid. It is an anticholinergic drug that antagonizes muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It is used in combination with hydrocodone (dihydrocodeine) tartrate (trade name Hycodan) to relieve cough symptoms, and is available in oral tablets and solutions. Homatropine is available in subtherapeutic doses of methylhomatropine bromide to prevent intentional overdose. Homatropine hydrobromide has been used in ophthalmology as a cycloplegic to temporarily paralyze accommodation and induce pupillary dilation; however, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the safety and efficacy of this therapeutic use. Homatropine is a cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist. Its mechanism of action is as a cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist. Homatropine is a synthetic tertiary amine alkaloid with antimuscarinic properties. Homatropine is a competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors, blocking parasympathetic nerve excitation. See also: Homatropine (note moved to). Drug Indications When used in combination with hydrocodone antitussives, it can be used as an antidote for overdose. It can also be used in ophthalmic solutions to induce mydriasis. FDA Label Mechanism of Action Homatropine is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist with its acetyl group replaced by a large aromatic group. It is expected to act similarly to atropine, producing a similar parasympathetic blocking effect. Homatropine inhibits the response of the iris sphincter by blocking muscarinic receptors and cholinergic signaling pathways, resulting in the loss of pupillary light reflex during mydriasis. It also inhibits the ciliary body's response to cholinergic stimulation.
Pharmacodynamics
Homatropine is an anticholinergic drug that produces typical anticholinergic effects, causing mydriasis and ciliary muscle paralysis. Other effects of structure-related atropine may also apply to homatropine, including secretion inhibition, tachycardia, smooth muscle relaxation, and central nervous system excitation.

  • 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)
