| Bioactivity | Hexamethonium Bromide is a non-selective ganglionic nicotinic-receptor antagonist (nAChR) antagonist, with mixed competitive and noncompetitive activity. Hexamethonium Bromide has anti-hypertensive activity. Hexamethonium Bromide attenuates sympathetic activity and blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive animal models[1][2][3][4]. |
| Invitro | Hexamethonium Bromide (100 µM; 60 minutes) abolishes epibatidine-induced depolarisations of smooth muscle cells[1].The α3β4α5 receptors have greater sensitivity to Hexamethonium Bromide than the other potential ganglionic models, α3β4, α3β2, and α3β2α5[2]. |
