Mepenzolate not only exerts an anti-inflammatory effect via a muscarinic receptor-independent mechanism, but also a bronchodilatory effect via a muscarinic receptor-dependent mechanism. Mepenzolate is a subtype-non-specific muscarinic antagonist whose bronchodilatory effect and inhibitory effect on intestinal motility can be explained by its antagonistic action on M3R[1].

Mepenzolate bromide is a muscarinic antagonist. Intratracheal administration or inhalation of Mepenzolate bromide decreases the severity of elastase-induced airspace enlargement and respiratory dysfunction. Mepenzolate bromide may be an effective therapeutic for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to its anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory activities[3].
