Description:

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

Methylscopolamine is an oral medication used along with other medications to treat peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid secretion. Proton pump inhibitors and antihistamine medications have made this use obsolete. It can also be used for stomach or intestinal spasms, to reduce salivation, and to treat motion sickness. Methscopolamine is also commonly used as a drying agent, to dry up post-nasal drip, in cold, irritable bowel syndrome and allergy medications.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Biological target:
Methscopolamine is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor blocker.
In vitro activity:
The orthosteric antagonists quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) and N-methylscopolamine (NMS) bind to the binding pocket of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor formed by transmembrane α-helices. The affinity of NMS at the allosteric site is in the micromolar range for all receptor subtypes. Reference: Sci Rep. 2017 Jan 16;7:40381. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28091608/
In vivo activity:
This paper reports that the muscarine antagonist methscopolamine, injected unilaterally into the nucleus accumbens, induced predominantly contralateral rotation in monoaminergically intact mice. In monoamine-depleted animals intra-accumbens methscopolamine induced only a weak stimulation of rotational behaviour (not significant), but the direction of the rotation was exclusively contralateral, and the animals showed contralateral body deviation.
