Research use only, not for human use.

Scopolamine hydrobromide is a competitive muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) with an IC50 of 55.3 ± 4.3 nM.

Scopolamine hydrobromide is a competitive muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) with an IC50 of 55.3 ± 4.3 nM.(In Vitro):Application of Scopolamine to oocytes expressing 5-HT3 receptors does not elicit a response when applied alone, but causes a concentration-dependent inhibition of the response during a co-application of 2 μM 5-HT. The pIC50 value for Scopolamine is 5.68±0.05 (IC50=2.09 μM, n=6) with a Hill Slope of 1.06 ± 0.05. This gave a Kb of 3.23 μM. The same concentration-dependent effect is also seen when Scopolamine is applied during the 5-HT application. To further test for a competitive binding at the 5-HT3 receptor, the competition of unlabelled Scopolamine is measured with [3H]granisetron, an established high-affinity competitive antagonist at these receptors. Scopolamine displays concentration-dependent competition with 0.6 nM [3H]granisetron (~Kd), yielding an average pKi of 5.17±0.24 (Ki=6.76 μM, n=3). (In Vivo):In the histopathology study, there is no significant change in the histology of the brain. However, it is observed that there is a reduction in density of cells in the hippocampus of the control mice pretreated with Scopolamine who received only distilled water. Scopolamine administration alone significantly increases the activity of Acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AchE) (7.98±0.065; P<0.001) when compared to the normal group (3.06±0.296). The animals treated with Scopolamine report a significant increase (34.61±4.85; P<0.01) in levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) as compared to the normal group (12.82±2.86). The Scopolamine-treated group shows significant decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) level (P<0.001; 0.1504±0.03) as compared to the normal group (0.3906±0.02). The Scopolamine-treated rats show a significant increase in the concentration ofβ amyloid (Aβ1-42) (P<0.001; 146.2±1.74) as compared to the normal group (43.21±3.46).
