Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Scopolamine (Hyoscine) hydrobromide trihydrate is a high-affinity muscarinic antagonist that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate competitively antagonizes 5-HT3 receptors with an IC50 of 2.09 μM. Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate can induce cognitive and memory deficits in animals. Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate can be used in the research of preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting, motion sickness, nervous system diseases, etc.

Biological Activity
receptors (IC50 = 928 μM) and increases the expression of α7 nACh receptors. Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate displays concentration-dependent competition with 0.6 nM [3H]Granisetron, yielding an average pKii = 6.76 μM). Concentration-dependent competition of fluorescently labeled form of Granisetron (HY-B0071) with Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate gives an average pKi of 5.31 (Ki = 4.90 μM). Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate blocks muscarinic receptors and induces a cognitive deficit[1].
Scopolamine (0.1-3 mM; for 24 hours) hydrobromide trihydrate induces cytotoxicity, ROS generation and apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells[6].

Cell Line:SH-SY5Y cell line
-
Concentration:0.1-3 mM (usually 2 mM)
-
Incubation Time:24 hours
-
Result:Exposure to 1-3 mM for 24 hours significantly decreased human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. In all subsequent experiments, 2 mM resulted in 50.6% loss in cell viability.
-
Animal Model:Naive male Swiss mice weighing 20-25 g[7]
-
Dosage:1 mg/kg
-
Administration:Administered intraperitoneally (i.p.); to measure the memory acquisition processes, Scopolamine was administered 20 min before the pretest; to measure the memory consolidation processes, Scopolamine was administered immediately after the pretest
-
Result:There was a significant decrease in the index of latency (IL) value as compared with the saline-treated mice, at the used dose impaired acquisition of memory and learning.
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Scopolamine (1 mg/kg; i.p.; once) induces memory impairment associated with attenuation of cholinergic neurotransmission, as well as an increases of processes connected with oxidative stress in the brain in mice[7].
Scopolamine can be used to induce memory impairment models[4].
Administration: 1 mg/kg/day for 7 days
Behavior-Locomotion activity in open field: Decreased time spent in the centre of the open field. Decreased number of crossing and rearing.
Behavior-Object recognition: Increased time to discover and stay with the familiar object. Decreased number of exploration of the novel object.
Molecular changes: Decreased level of glutathione. Increased activity of acetylcholinesterase in brain.
