Seventy adults in the United States with acute diarrhea who were attending classes in Guadalajara, Mexico, enrolled in a double-blind placebo-controlled treatment study of an anticholinergic drug, mepenzolate bromide (MZB). Thirty-five patients received MZB (50 mg) and 35 received placebo
Lowering temperature from 37 degrees C to 22, 18, and 14 degrees C triggered automaticity of smooth longitudinal muscle of guinea pig isolated ileum. The amplitude of the hypothermia-induced automaticity was dependent on the degree of temperature drop: the greater
Journal of ethnopharmacology, 45(3), 215-222 (1995-03-01)
In our attempt to isolate the pharmacologically active ingredients in the aqueous extracts of Mareya micrantha, we have selected the contractions of the longitudinal muscle of the isolated guinea-pig ileum preparation as a pharmacological marker to monitor retention of pharmacological
Research communications in chemical pathology and pharmacology, 36(3), 503-506 (1982-06-01)
The mydriatic effects of mepenzolate, a quarternary antimuscarinic agent, has been investigated and compared with those of atropine by pupillographic analysis in rabbits. The time-response curve for the onset of action for the agents (half-time, ca.5 min) was the same
