Product Data
Biological target:
Ubretid (distigmine bromide) is a potent inhibitor of plasma cholinesterase.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
Distigmine (0.1 mg/kg) significantly increased the maximum intravesical pressure at micturition reflex for 12 h post-administration. The inhibitory effects of distigmine on AChE activity were sustained during the measurement period and statistically significant effects were observed for 12 h after the administration of all tested doses (Fig. 5A) in guinea pigs.
