Bioactivity | Propiverine hydrochloride is a bladder spasmolytic with calcium antagonistic and anticholinergic properties. Propiverine hydrochloride can be used for the research of overactive blaqdder and urinary incontinence[1][2]. |
Invitro | Propiverine (10-3000 nM) inhibits the specific binding of [3H]NMS, with Kis of 339, 193 and 497 nM in the bladder, submaxillary gland and heart of mice respectively[2]. |
In Vivo | Propiverine (0.5 mg/day; p.o. once daily for 2 weeks) significantly increases UBP and LPP during passive intravesical pressure elevation, and also increases plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levelsin rats[1].Propiverine (0.01-1 mg/kg; i.v.) decreases the UBP and totally suppresses the sneeze reflex at the dose of 1 mg/kg in vivo[1].
