Application

Cevimeline hydrochloride hemihydrate may be used in cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cevimeline is a muscarinic M1 and M3 receptor agonist. Cevimeline stimulates secretion by the salivary glands and is used to treat the symptoms of dry mouth.
Cevimeline stimulates the peripheral muscarinic acetylcholine receptors of salivary glands and increases the concentration of Ca+2 in parotic acini and duct cells of rats. It thus acts as therapeutic agent for xerostomia.

Previous reports suggested that there is no significant difference in the binding affinity of pilocarpine and cevimeline on muscarinic receptors (1). However, in vivo studies from our laboratory suggested that pilocarpine-induced salivation from the parotid gland is greater than that
Hirotaka Ueda et al.
The journal of medical investigation : JMI, 56 Suppl, 267-269 (2009-01-01)
Cevimeline, a therapeutic drug for xerostomia, is an agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), and directly stimulates the peripheral mAChRs of the salivary glands. Since cevimeline is distributed in the brain after its oral administration, it is possible that it
