QUICK LINKS

Mecamylamine Hydrochloride is a noncompetitive and nonselective antagonist of AChRs. The compound preferentially blocks nicotinic receptors at autonomic ganglia and is able to cross the blood brain barrier. Once across the blood brain barrier Mecamylamine Hydrochloride can selectively antagonize neuronal AChRs. Mecamylamine Hydrochloride is an inhibitor of AChR alpha 3, AChR alpha 4, AChR alpha 7 and AChRbeta2.
