| Bioactivity | Xanomeline oxalate (LY246708 oxalate) is a potent and selective muscarinic receptor agonist (SMRA) and stimulates phosphoinositide hydrolysis in vivo. Xanomeline oxalate can be used for the research of Alzheimer’s disease[1]. |
| Target | muscarinic receptor |
| Invitro | Xanomeline stimulates phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis in the A9 L m1 cells[1].Xanomeline inhibits [3H]-pirenzepine ([3H]-PZ) and [3H]-oxotremorine-M ([3H]-OXO-M) binding to rat brain with Kis of 7 and 3 nM, respectively[1]. |
| In Vivo | Xanomeline robustly stimulates in vivo PI hydrolysis and the effect is blocked by muscarinic antagonists, demonstrating mediation by muscarinic receptors. In mice the ED100 for Xanomeline-induced stimulation of [3H]-IP accumulation is 54 μmole/kg in hippocampus. And in rats the ED100 for Xanomeline-induced stimulation of [3H]-IP accumulation is 8.1 μmole/kg in hippocampus[1]. Animal Model: |
