Bioactivity | Ethybenztropine (Ponalid) is a muscarinic receptor blocker. Ethybenztropine is an anticholinergic and antihistaminergic agent[1]. |
Target | Muscarinic Receptor |
Invitro | Ethybenztropine (10 μM) inhibits the uptake of 3H-DA in neostriatal slices. |
In Vivo | Ethybenztropine (25 μg, microinjected into mesencephalic NRM) blocks the hypertherrnic response of carbachol microinjection into nucleus raphe median (NRM) of rabbits[1].Ethybenztropine (30-60 μg/kg, administered by the fourth ventricle) is effective in preventing arrhythmias in dogs[2].Ethybenztropine (50 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces the catecholamines accumulation in rats[3].
