Description
Trihexyphenidyl is an antagonist of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It binds to rat M1 receptors in cerebral cortex selectively over rat M2 receptors in heart tissue (IC50s = 3.7 and 31 nM, respectively). Trihexyphenidyl inhibits contractions induced by acetylcholine in guinea pig ileum (IC50 = 22 nM). It also inhibits oxotremorine-induced tremors and physostigmine-induced mortality in mice (ED50s = 2 and 3.6 mg/kg, respectively). Trihexyphenidyl (20 mg/kg) improves abnormal movement in a mouse model of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) responsive dystonia (DRD) that expresses mutant tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Formulations containing trihexyphenidyl have been used in the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson''s disease.
