Bioactivity | Atropine (Tropine tropate) sulfate monohydrate is a competitive muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonist with IC50 values of 0.39 and 0.71 nM for Human mAChR M4 and Chicken mAChR M4, respectively. Atropine sulfate monohydrate inhibits ACh-induced relaxations in human pulmonary veins. Atropine sulfate monohydrate can be used for research of anti-myopia and bradycardia[1][2][3][4]. |
Invitro | Atropine (Tropine tropate; 1 μM; pulmonary veins and arteries) sulfate monohydrate inhibits ACh-induced relaxations in human pulmonary veins[4]. |
In Vivo | Atropine (Tropine tropate; 10 mg/kg; i.p.; once, for 40 minutes; Peromyscus sp.) sulfate monohydrate inhibits the cardiac arrhythmia which normally occurs throughout torpor[2]. Animal Model: |
