Application

AF-DX 116 has been used as an M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M2AChR) selective antagonist to study the influence of M2AChR in the regulation of both basal and carbachol-stimulated long-term potentiation at the dentate gyrus (DG-LTP) and pro-nerve growth factor (proNGF) secretion in hippocampal cells of young diabetic rats.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AF-DX 116 is a selective M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist.
AF-DX 116 raises blood pressure and heart rate in a rat model of hypotension induced by repeated cold stress. Thus, it may be used as a therapeutic for hypotension related to vagotonia type autonomic dysfunction.

The effects of anticholinergic drugs selective for muscarinic receptor subtypes on prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle response were determined in mice. The prepulse inhibition is associated with sensorimotor information processing in the brain. The anticholinergic agent scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.)

This study was designed to investigate the effects of the cholinesterase inhibitors soman and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) on synaptic transmission in the CA1 field of rat hippocampal slices. Soman (1-100 nM, 10-15 min) decreased the amplitude of GABAergic postsynaptic currents
