OH-Chol is a cationic cholesterol derivative.1 OH-Chol, as a component of lipoplexes with DOPE , has been used for siRNA delivery and gene silencing in MCF-7 cells, as well as in mice via intravenous injection, resulting in lipoplex accumulation in the liver. It has also been used in cationic nanoparticles in combination with Tween 80 to transfect pDNA and siRNA into PC3 mouse xenografts via intratumoral injection and with Tween 80 and folate-PEG2000-DSPE in a KB mouse xenograft model for intratumoral gene delivery.2References1.

Methoctramine is a selective antagonist of M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (IC50 = 6.1 nM in CHO-K1 cell membranes).[1] It is selective for M2 over M1, M3, M4, and M5 receptors (IC50s = 92, 770, 260, and 217 nM, respectively). In vitro, methoctramine inhibits acetylcholine-induced reductions in isolated guinea pig tracheal tube contractions when used at a concentration of 1 μM.[2] In vivo, methoctramine inhibits bradycardia and bronchoconstriction induced by acetylcholinein guinea pigs with ED50 values of 38 and 81 nmol kg, respectively. In a rat model of spinal cord injury, methoctramine suppresses bladder overactivity induced by the non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist oxotremorine M.[3]
