General description

Pirenzepine dihydrochloride is an anticholinergic agent. It is also considered as an antiulcer drug. It is used to treat myopia, gastric and duodenal ulcers. Pirenzepine dihydrochloride induces the dimerization of muscarinic M1 receptors.

Application

Pirenzepine dihydrochloride has been used
  • in transactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR).
  • as a supplement in cell culture.
  • for the stimulation of human fibroblasts

Previously, we reported that activation of muscarinic receptors modulates N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated synaptic transmission in auditory neocortex [Aramakis et al. (1997a) Exp Brain Res 113:484-496]. Here, we describe the muscarinic subtypes responsible for these modulatory effects, and a role for

Acetylcholine is an important regulator of local cerebral blood flow. There is, however, limited information available on the possible sites of action of this neurotransmitter on brain intraparenchymal microvessels. In this study, a combination of molecular and functional approaches was
