Application

Aceclidine hydrochloride may be used in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-mediated cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aceclidine at a concentration of 5 and 50 μg is capable of enhancing the outflow facility, following ciliary muscle disinsertion.
Aceclidine hydrochloride is a parasympathomimetic drug with weak anticholinesterase activity. It acts on cholinergic nerve-endings, lowers intraocular pressure and potent therapeutic agent for open-angle glaucoma.
Aceclidine is a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist that is effective in reducing intraocular pressure.
