Application

(-)Scopolamine methyl nitrate was administered to mice to inhibit the peripheral cholinergic effects induced by pilocarpine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Scopolamine is an anti-muscarinic and cholinolytic alkaloid that inhibits parasympathetic-cholinergic system. The central effects include hallucinations, disorientation, restlessness and euphoria. Scopolamine disturb the stimulus detection performance in rats by interfering with the reticular cholinergic pathways.

In experiments in which mice were placed with their forepaws over a 4 cm high horizontal bar, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC; 10 mg/kg i.p.) delayed descent from the bar. This effect on descent latency was markedly enhanced by physostigmine (0.05 or 0.25

Both oxotremorine and physostigmine both in doses ranging from 25 to 100 micrograms/kg produced dose-dependent attenuation of withdrawal jumping and potentiation of 'wet dog' shakes, burrowing, hypothermia and body weight loss precipitated by naloxone (1 mg/kg, i.p.) in morphine-dependent mice.

The lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy in rat has been used extensively to investigate basic mechanisms of epilepsy and mimics human temporal lobe epilepsy. Our aim was to investigate longitudinal alterations in metabolism after lithium-pilocarpine induced status epilepticus (SE) using [(18)F]FDG
