A comparison of the central and peripheral antimuscarinic effects of atropine and methylatropine injected systemically and into the cerebral ventricles.

Abstract:

:We compared the relative abilities of atropine sulfate and methylatropine, injected i.v. and into the cerebral ventricles (icv), to block pharmacological responses mediated through central and peripheral muscarinic receptors. The hypotensive response to i.v. injection of acetylcholine (peripheral muscarinic receptors) was inhibited 50% by i.v. injection of 14.3 nmol (5.5 micrograms)/kg methylatropine and 147.8n molar equivalents (50 micrograms)/kg atropine sulfate. A similar degree of inhibition followed icv injection of 49.4 nmol/kg methylatropine and 384.2 nmol equivalents/kg atropine sulfate, indicating significant leakage out of the ventricular space. The pressor response to icv injection of neostigmine (central muscarinic receptors) also was inhibited more effectively by icv methylatropine than by atropine sulfate. Methylatropine was not effective in blocking central muscarinic receptors when injected i.v.
