Description:

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

Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic that blocks muscarinic receptors. Dicyclomine is used to treat intestinal hypermotility and the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (also known as spastic colon). It relieves muscle spasms and cramping in the gastrointestinal tract by blocking the activity of acetylcholine on cholinergic (or muscarinic) receptors on the surface of muscle cells. It is a smooth muscle relaxant.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Dicyclomine hydrochloride is a muscarinic cholinergic receptors antagonist with high affinity for muscarinic M1 receptor subtype (Ki=5.1 nM) and M2 receptor subtype (Ki=54.6 nM) in brush-border membrane and basal plasma membranes, respectively.
In vitro activity:
Dicyclomine at concentration of 0.5 mg/ml reduced Candida growth by 50% (Table 1 and Fig. 1b (A)). The minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) was observed at 1 mg/ml (Table 1 and Fig. 3a). Commercial dicyclomine also reduced Candida albicans growth by 50% [minimun inhibitory concentration (MIC)] at 0.125 mg/ml (Table 1 and Fig. 1b (A)) and MFC was at 0.25 mg/ml (Table 1 and Fig. 3b).

In vivo activity:
Concerning the retrieval of recent memories of CFC, a two-way ANOVA showed a significant effect of the Minute [F(4,92) = 6.33; p < 0.01] and Treatment [F(2,23) = 22.07; p < 0.01] factors. The post-hoc Tukey's test showed that the group treated with 32 mg/kg dicyclomine exhibited a significant reduction in freezing time compared to the other 2 groups (p < 0.01 in both cases). The rats treated with 16 mg/kg dicyclomine were not significantly different from the saline group. The Minute × Treatment interaction was also significant [F(8,92) = 2.89; p < 0.01]. Tukey's test reveal that group treated with 32 mg/kg of dicyclomine exhibited lower freezing time from the second minute onwards (p < 0.05 for second minute compared to 16 mg/kg of dicyclomine and p < 0.01 for all other minutes).
