Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Cethexonium bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound functioning as a ganglionic blocker. It inhibits nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in autonomic ganglia, reducing sympathetic and parasympathetic transmission. This leads to decreased vascular tone, reduced GI motility and modulation of smoothmuscle activity.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in autonomicnervoussystem research, nicotinicreceptor pharmacology, smoothmuscle inhibition assays, preganglionic neurotransmission modelling and early antihypertensive drugmechanism investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include severe hypotension, urinary retention, paralytic ileus, blurred vision, tachycardia, and autonomic instability. Handle as a potent ganglionic blocker under strict lab controls.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
