Choline-d₆ chloride

Choline-d₆ chloride is the d₆-labeled Choline chloride (HY-B1337). Choline chloride is an orally active methylxanthine derivative. Choline chloride exhibits weak antihistaminic and anticholinergic activities and potentiates the effects of histamine and acetylcholine. Choline chloride relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, dilates coronary and peripheral blood vessels, increases urine output and electrolyte excretion, stimulates locomotor activity in the central nervous system, and induces transient hypotension following a pressor phase. Choline chloride modulates sleep architecture by increasing wakefulness time and reducing slow-wave sleep, without altering the frequency or severity of nocturnal hypoxemia, apnea, or hypopnea events. Choline chloride is used in studies of bronchospasm, nocturnal asthma, and chronic asthma.
