Acetylcholine iodide  (Synonyms: ACh iodide)

Cat. No.: HY-101086 Purity: 98.59%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Acetylcholine iodide is a muscarinic receptor modulator. Acetylcholine iodide specifically binds to muscarinic receptors, inhibits sodium absorption, and induces chloride secretion. Acetylcholine iodide changes intestinal ion transport, enhances intestinal secretory function, induces or maintains mammary gland development and lactation. Acetylcholine iodide can be used for intestinal ion transport regulation and mammary gland physiological function research.

    IC50 & Target

    Human Endogenous Metabolite

     

    In Vitro

    Acetylcholine iodide (25 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; twice a day; 5 days) induces lobular-acinar growth and secretion in the mammary glands of virgin rats pretreated with estrogen[3].

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

    Animal Model: Female albino rats (Carworth, weighing 175 - 200 g, age unspecified) for studying mammary growth and lactation induction; Female albino rats (Carworth, postparturient, litter removed on 4th day after parturition) for studying maintenance of mammary structure and secretion[3].
    Dosage: 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg (dissolved in an unspecified solvent for subcutaneous injection)
    Administration: Subcutaneous injection, twice daily for 15 days (for induction in virgin rats), twice daily for 5 days after 10 days of estradiol pretreatment (for induction in estrogen-primed virgin rats), twice daily for 10 days (for maintenance in lactating rats after litter removal)
    Result: Induced duct growth in some cases without estradiol priming, and lobule-alveolar growth and secretion with estradiol priming in virgin rats.

    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

    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.
