Description

(+/-)-Muscarine Chloride CAS NO 2936-25-6 is a high-purity, racemic form of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, muscarine. This compound is a critical reference standard and research tool for neuropharmacological studies, enabling the investigation of cholinergic signaling pathways. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors who require a reliable and well-characterized compound for receptor binding assays, toxicity studies, and the development of therapeutic agents targeting the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Application

• Pharmacological Research: Primary tool for studying muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes (M1-M5) in vitro and in vivo.
• Neuroscience & Toxicology: Used to model cholinergic toxicity and to understand the physiological effects of parasympathetic nervous system activation.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Serves as a key reference standard in high-throughput screening (HTS) campaigns to identify novel mAChR agonists or antagonists.
• Biochemical Assays: Employed in receptor binding and functional assays (e.g., calcium flux, GTPγS) to characterize compound potency and efficacy.
• Academic Research: Fundamental reagent for university and institutional labs exploring autonomic nervous system function, synaptic transmission, and neurodegenerative diseases.
• Quality Control & Reference Standard: Used as an analytical reference material for the identification and quantification of muscarine or related compounds.
