Oxotremorine M iodide is a novel, potent and selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist. Oxotremorine M iodide increases the potency of NMDA receptors through both independent and dependent muscarinic receptor mechanisms.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro |
Oxotremorine M iodide (0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 μM) reduces the concentration-dependent KCNQ2/3 currents[2]. Oxotremorine M iodide Phosphoinositide response to iodide is strong and has an EC50 of 0.22 μM. In mice lacking M2, M3, and M2/M3 genes, oxotremorine M iodide EC50 values are 0.36, 0.52, 1.62, and 1.48 μM, respectively[3]. |
| ln Vivo | Oxotremorine M iodide (0.5 mg/kg; s.c.) increases dopamine (DA) release in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) but has no effect in the nucleus accumbens (NAC) in male Sprague-Dawley albino rats weighing 250-350 g[4]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO: ~125 mg/mL (~388.0 mM) H2O: ~8.3 mg/mL (~25.9 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.46 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.46 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (6.46 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. Solubility in Formulation 4: 7.14 mg/mL (22.16 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication (<60°C).  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
