Uses
TMPH Hydrochloride is a potent inhibitor of neuronal AChRs. Therapeutic agent potentially used for the treatment of this progressive neurodegenerative disease such as globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD) or Krabbe disease.
Definition
ChEBI: Heptanoic acid (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl) ester is a fatty acid ester.
Biological Activity
Potent non-competitive antagonist of neuronal nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs). Produces long-lasting inhibition of neuronal nAChRs formed by the combination of the most abundant α and β subunits (i.e. α 3, α 4 and β 2, β 4 respectively). Displays little inhibition of muscle-type ( α 1 β 1 γ δ ) or α 7 receptors.
