Product Description
Mechanism of action
Bornaprine is an anticholinergic agent structurally related to tropane alkaloids. It acts as a potent muscarinic receptor antagonist, reducing parasympathetic signalling in the CNS and periphery. This helps rebalance dopaminergic–cholinergic circuits in movement disorders and reduces smooth‑muscle spasm.
Benefits and advantages
Used in Parkinsonism research, muscarinic‑receptor mapping, extrapyramidal‑symptom models, GI‑spasm studies and neurochemical modulation of basal‑ganglia pathways.
Side effects and risks
Risks include confusion, constipation, tachycardia, blurred vision, urinary retention and CNS anticholinergic syndrome. Handle with full antimuscarinic‑compound precautions.
