Chemical Structure
Methacholine bromide
Synonym(s): Acetyl-β-methylcholine bromide
- CAS No.: 333-31-3
- Formula:C8H18BrNO2
- Molecular Weight:240.14
IUPAC Name: 2-acetoxy-N,N,N-trimethylpropan-1-aminium bromide
InChIKey: MMVPLEUBMWUYIB-UHFFFAOYSA-M
SMILES: CC(OC(C)=O)C[N+](C)(C)C.[Br-]
Biological Activity: Methacholine (Acetyl-β-methylcholine) bromide is a potent muscarinic-3 (M3) agonist. Methacholine bromide acts directly on acetylcholine receptors on smooth muscle causing bronchoconstriction and airway narrowing. Methacholine bromide shows a high sensitivity to identify bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). Methacholine bromide can be used to measure airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) as a diagnostic aid in the assessment of individuals with asthma-like symptoms and normal resting expiratory flow rates[1][2][3][4].
