Methacholine (Acetyl-β-methylcholine) bromide 是一种有效的 muscarinic-3 (M3) 激动剂。Methacholine bromide 直接作用于平滑肌上的乙酰胆碱受体,导致支气管收缩和气道变窄。Methacholine bromide 对识别支气管高反应性 (BHR) 显示出高灵敏度。Methacholine bromide 可用于测量气道高反应性 (AHR),作为评估具有哮喘样症状和正常静息呼气流速的个体的诊断辅助[2]。

产品描述 | Methacholine (Acetyl-β-methylcholine) bromide is a potentmuscarinic-3 (M3)agonist. Methacholine bromide acts directly on acetylcholine receptors on smooth muscle causing bronchoconstriction and airway narrowing. Methacholine bromide shows a high sensitivity to identify bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). Methacholine bromide can be used to measure airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) as a diagnostic aid in the assessment of individuals with asthma-like symptoms and normal resting expiratory flow rates[1][2][3][4]. Methacholine bromide (0.5 µg/kg plus 5 µg/kg/min for 30 min) induces bronchoconstriction in dogs[4]. Methacholine bromide (0.5 mg/kg; i.v.) induces bronchoconstriction was inhibited by bradykinin (4-40 µg/kg; i.v.) in a a dose-dependent manner in mouse[5].
Animal Model: | 9-week female BALB/c mice[6] | Dosage: | 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1 mg/kg | Administration: | I.v | Result: | Induced severe bronchoconstriction. |
