M 8218

Uses

Penehyclidine, a anticholinergic agent, is a selective antagonist of M1 and M3 receptors. Penehyclidine activates NF-kβ in lung tissue and inhibits the release of inflammatory factors. Penehyclidine can alleviate the pulmonary inflammatory response in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing mechanical ventilation[1][2].

IC 50

mAChR1; mAChR3; NF-κB
