QUICK LINKS

Gallamine Triethiodide is an M2 muscarinic antagonist with pronounced cardioselectivity. Gallamine Triethiodide acts by combining with the cholinergic receptor sites in muscle and competitively blocks the transmitter action of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter involved in transmitting signals across the neuromuscular junction. This blockade allows the study of the roles and mechanisms of muscarinic receptors in both central and peripheral nervous systems Gallamine Triethiodide has a parasympatholytic effect on the cardiac vagus nerve.
