Long-acting muscarinic antagonists

Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, 2015
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Inhaled bronchodilators are the mainstay of COPD pharmacological treatment. Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) are a major class of inhaled bronchodilators.

Role of muscarinic antagonists in asthma therapy

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Higher parasympathetic tone has been reported in asthmatics. In general, cholinergic contractile tone is increased by airway inflammation associated with asthma. Nevertheless, the role of muscarinic antagonists for the treatment of asthma has not yet been clearly defined.

The interaction of selective and non-selective antagonists with pre- and postjunctional muscarinic receptor subtypes in the guinea pig trachea

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pharmacology, 1993
Muscarinic receptor antagonists were used to study prejunctional M2 and postjunctional M3 receptors in the isolated guinea pig trachea. The effects of four M2-selective muscarinic receptor antagonists (gallamine, methoctramine, AQ-RA 741 and AF-DX 116 ...

Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists

2016
Parasympathetic activity is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma and appears to be the major reversible component of airway obstruction. Therefore, treatment with muscarinic receptor antagonists is an effective bronchodilator therapy in COPD and also in asthmatic patients.

Selective Muscarinic Receptor Agonists and Antagonists

Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1996
Abstract:Muscarinic receptors are composed of a family of four subtypes each of which can be distinguished pharmacologically and structurally. The physiological role of each subtype in the central and peripheral nervous systems remains to be clarified, due, in part, to a lack of agonists and antagonists with adequate subtype selectivity.
