Benzatropine is a centrally active muscarinic antagonist. It also inhibits the uptake of dopamine. It has been used in the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson's Disease.
Methylatropine is an antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (IC50= <0.1 nM in a radioligand binding assay using isolated porcine brain membranes) and a derivative of atropine .1,2It reduces acetylcholine-induced decreases in blood pressure in rats when administered intravenously with an ED50value of 5.5 μg/kg.2Methylatropine reduces salivation, induces mydriasis, and increases heart rate in dogs.3 1.Schmeller, T., Sporer, F., Sauerwein, M., et al.Binding of tropane alkaloids to nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptorsPharmazie50(7)493-495(1995) 2.Brezenoff, H.E., Xiao, Y.-F., and Vargas, H.A comparison of the central and peripheral antimuscarinic effects of atropine and methylatropine injected systemically and into the cerebral ventriclesLife Sci.42(8)905-911(1988) 3.Albanus, L.Central and peripheral effects of anticholinergic compoundsActa Pharmacol.

Atropine Oxide is a derivative of Atropine. Atropine is a medication to treat certain types of nerve agent and pesticide poisonings as well as some types of slow heart rate and to decrease saliva production during surgery. Atropine is a competitive antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor types M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5. It is classified as an anticholinergic drug (parasympatholytic).
