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].

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. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
