Methscopolamine bromide  (Synonyms: (-)-Scopolamine methyl bromide; Hyoscine methyl bromide)

Cat. No.: HY-B0344 Purity: 99.53%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Methscopolamine bromide ((-)-Scopolamine methyl bromide; Hyoscine methyl bromide) is a peripherally acting muscarinic receptor (mAChR) antagonist that cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Methscopolamine bromide blocks the muscarinic negative feedback regulation of acetylcholine release from striatal cholinergic terminals, thereby increasing acetylcholine release in the striatum of freely moving rats. Methscopolamine bromide does not induce motor excitation in freely moving rats, nor does it alter the duration of ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex in mice. Methscopolamine bromide fails to antagonize the arecoline-mediated reduction in the duration of ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex in mice.

Description

Methscopolamine bromide ((-)-Scopolamine methyl bromide; Hyoscine methyl bromide) is a peripherally acting muscarinic receptor (mAChR) antagonist that cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Methscopolamine bromide blocks the muscarinic negative feedback regulation of acetylcholine release from striatal cholinergic terminals, thereby increasing acetylcholine release in the striatum of freely moving rats. Methscopolamine bromide does not induce motor excitation in freely moving rats, nor does it alter the duration of ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex in mice. Methscopolamine bromide fails to antagonize the arecoline-mediated reduction in the duration of ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex in mice[1][2].

In Vivo

Methscopolamine (0.25-1.0 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; single dose) cannot antagonize the shortening effect of Arecoline (HY-N2364) on ethanol-induced hypnotic duration in mice, as it fails to cross the blood-brain barrier[1].
Methscopolamine bromide (5-10 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration) maximally increases acetylcholine release in the striatum of freely moving rats by 380% and 430%, respectively, without altering their spontaneous motor activity[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: ICR mice (male, 18 to 22 g)[1]
Dosage: 0.25 mg/kg; 1.0 mg/kg
Administration: s.c.; single dose
Result: Did not significantly alter the duration of ethanol-induced loss of the righting reflex (LORR) compared to saline-treated controls when administered alone.
Did not reverse the arecoline-induced shortening of ethanol-induced LORR duration (no significant difference compared to the saline + arecoline group) when administered before arecoline.
Animal Model: Wistar rats (male, 280-350 g)[2]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg; 10 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.; single injection
Result: Caused a maximal 380% increase in striatal acetylcholine release relative to baseline levels at 2 hours post-injection, with release remaining above baseline for over 4 hours.
Caused a maximal 430% increase in striatal acetylcholine release relative to baseline levels at 2 hours post-injection, with release remaining above baseline for over 4 hours.
Did not cause a change in spontaneous motor activity relative to controls.

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.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.28 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.28 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
