Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pachycarpine may decrease hyperexcitability through the activation of the M2 and M4 subtypes of mAChRs, which is a probable mechanism of action that together with its systemic effects may favor its anticonvulsant effects against seizures and SE.

Product Data
Biological target:
(+)-Sparteine competitively blocks nicotinic ACh receptor in the neurons.
In vitro activity:
The effects of (+)-sparteine, a ganglionic blocking agent, on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced membrane currents and on fast excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were studied in the neurons of rat isolated superior cervical ganglion, with the whole-cell patch-clamp recording method and the two-electrode voltage-clamp method, respectively. (+)-Sparteine (2 microM) reduced the ACh-induced current caused by activation of nicotinic ACh receptors (AChRs) in a voltage-independent manner at membrane potentials of -50 mV to +30 mV, whereas its blocking effect increased at more negative membrane potentials. The dose-response relationship for ACh was modified by 2 microM (+)-sparteine at -50 mV and at -90 mV in a fashion typical for competitive rather than noncompetitive antagonists.

In vivo activity:
In the nervous system, sparteine has been shown to display anti-cholinergic and depressive activity, although how sparteine exerts its toxic effects in the brain remains unclear. This study has addressed this issue by administering subcutaneous injections of sparteine (25 mg/kg of body weight) to rats on postnatal days 1 and 3, and then examining the expression of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subunits m1-m4 in the brains of the neonatal rats 14-60 days later. Administration of sparteine to neonatal rats caused neuronal damage in the cerebral motor cortex accompanied by transient changes in the expression of m1-m4 mAChR subunits as revealed by both RT-PCR and Western blotting.
