(−)-Scopolamine methyl bromide (CAS 155-41-9)
QUICK LINKS
(−)-Scopolamine methyl bromide is primarily utilized in biochemical research where it acts as a ligand to study muscarinic acetylcholine receptor interactions within various biological systems. Its structure allows for specific binding to muscarinic receptors, enabling researchers to explore receptor dynamics and signaling pathways without the compound penetrating the central nervous system due to its quaternary ammonium group. This property makes it particularly useful for examining the peripheral actions of muscarinic receptors. In receptor binding assays, it functions as a tool to help determine receptor density and affinity in a range of tissue types. Moreover, in the field of molecular pharmacology, (−)-scopolamine methyl bromide is instrumental in characterizing the pharmacological profiles of other compounds that interact with muscarinic receptors, facilitating the understanding of their mechanism of action.
