HexamethoniumFreeBase is a nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.
Hexamethonium bromide dihydrate is a non-depolarizing NMJ blocker and nAChR antagonist. It has previously been used to treat hypertension. It inhibits sympathetic nervous system activity and acts as a skeletal muscle relaxant.
Hexamethonium monotartrate is a non-depolarizing NMJ blocker and nAChR antagonist. It has previously been used to treat hypertension. It inhibits sympathetic nervous system activity and acts as a skeletal muscle relaxant.
Hexamethonium tartrate is a nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.
Hexamethonium chloride dihydrate is a non-depolarizing NMJ blocker and nAChR antagonist. It has previously been used to treat hypertension. It inhibits sympathetic nervous system activity and acts as a skeletal muscle relaxant.
Hexamethonium chloride is a preferential nicotinic receptor blocker at the level of autonomic ganglia. It has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier only in high doses.
