Application

(±)-Muscarine chloride hydrate may be used:
  • as an acetylcholine receptor agonist in neuronal precursor cell lines PC 12 cells
  • as toxin test compound for paper spray mass spectrometry (PSMS) optimization experiments
  • as a component of quality control(QC) in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-HRMS/MS) analysis of human urine samples

Biochem/physiol Actions

Muscarine is a potent agonist than acetylcholine and is not susceptible to degradation by cholinesterases. Muscarine administration results in muscle spasm especially in gut, bronchus and uterus.
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist; originally isolated from Amanita muscaria.

Paper spray mass spectrometry (PSMS) is currently used in different analytical fields, but less effort has been made so far to use PSMS for highly polar compounds. Such analytes usually show poor performance in PSMS due to their high affinity
