Application

Ipratropium bromide monohydrate has been used for the inhibition of peripheral muscarinic receptors in rats.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ipratropium bromide monohydrate is a nonselective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist and a bronchodilator. In nebulized form, it is used for treating asthma and obstructive pulmonary diseases. It acts as a β2 adrenoreceptor agonist. Ipratropium bromide monohydrate is an anticholinergic agent and competes with acetylcholine. It promotes bronchodilation by stimulating sympathetic pathways.

Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic drug. Studies with cloned human muscarinic receptors show that tiotropium binds equally well to M(1), M(2), and M(3) receptors. However, it dissociates very slowly from M(1) and M(3) receptors compared with ipratropium, and more rapidly
