Application

Chlorisondamine diiodide has been used:
  • as a nicotinic receptor antagonist to test its effect on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis
  • as an irreversible nicotinic acetylcholine(nAChR) blocker to pre-treat brain samples to test its effect on cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) induction
  • as a ganglionic blocker to test its effect on regulating corticosterone levels in rat with chronic stress

Biochem/physiol Actions

Chlorisondamine diiodide mediates ganglionic and central blockade.
Irreversible, long-lasting nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist.

Inhalational general anesthetics have recently been shown to inhibit neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (nnAChRs) expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in molluscan neurons. However, drug actions on these systems are not necessarily the same as those seen on native

Chlorisondamine blocks central nicotinic receptors for many weeks via an unknown mechanism. Intracerebroventricular administration of [(3)H]-chlorisondamine in rats results in an anatomically restricted and persistent intracellular accumulation of radioactivity. The initial aim of the present study was to test whether

CYP2B is a drug-metabolizing enzyme expressed in the liver and brain that metabolizes a variety of centrally acting drugs (e.g. propofol, bupropion and nicotine), endogenous neurochemicals (e.g. serotonin and testosterone) and toxins (e.g. chlorpyrifos). Human CYP2B6 is found at higher

While the work of several groups has shown the neuroprotective effects of nicotine in vitro, evidences for the same effects in vivo are controversial, mainly regarding neuroprotection in experimental models of Parkinson's disease. In this context, we investigated the capability

Mecamylamine is a non-competitive nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonist that has been prescribed for hypertension and as an off-label smoking cessation aid. Here, we examined pharmacological mechanisms underlying the interoceptive effects (i.e., discriminative stimulus effects) of mecamylamine (5.6 mg/kg s.c.)
