Procyclidine
Procyclidine (Tricyclamol; (±)-Procyclidine), an anticholinergic agent, is a muscarinic receptor antagonist that also has the properties of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist. Procyclidine can be used in studies of Parkinson's disease and related psychiatric disorders such as Soman-induced epilepsy.
