Benzetimide hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Benzetimide hydrochloride (R4929) is a blood-brain barrier-permeable muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. Benzetimide hydrochloride blocks cholinergic receptor sites. Benzetimide hydrochloride induces mydriasis, prevents acetylcholine-induced muscle contraction, inhibits pilocarpine (HY-B0726A)-induced parasympathomimetic effects, and exhibits antisecretory activity. Benzetimide hydrochloride can be used in research related to Parkinson's disease.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Benzetimide ((+) Benzetimide) (0.02 mg/L; 30-60 min) hydrochloride inhibits acetylcholine-induced contraction of guinea pig ileal segments, whereas (-) Benzetimide at the same concentration achieves higher tissue radioactivity levels but exhibits no inhibitory activity[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In Vivo
Benzetimide hydrochloride (0.5 mg/kg; s.c.; single dose) has both (+) and (-) isomers that are predominantly excreted within 24 hours of subcutaneous administration, with the (-) enantiomer excreted more rapidly via urine and the (+) enantiomer excreted more heavily via feces, and with distinct metabolite proportion profiles between the isomers[1].
Benzetimide hydrochloride (2.5 mg/kg; s.c.; single dose) has both (+) and (-) isomers that penetrate rat eye and brain tissue, but only the (+) enantiomer produces anticholinergic effects (mydriasis), which are not correlated with general tissue radioactivity levels[1].
Benzetimide hydrochloride (0.02-10 mg/kg; s.c.) is a powerful antagonist of both peripheral and central parasympathomimetic effects of Pilocarpine (HY-B0726A), with an ED50AS of 0.04 mg/kg, ED50MY of 0.06 mg/kg, and ED50CA of 0.08 mg/kg[2].

In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.21 mM); Clear solution
