Triethylcholine iodide is a choline acetyltransferase inhibitor and a regulator of the acetylcholine synthesis pathway. Triethylcholine iodide inhibits acetylcholine synthesis in brain tissues and blocks neuromuscular and autonomic ganglionic transmission. Triethylcholine iodide exerts weak curare-like effects at extremely high concentrations. Triethylcholine iodide elevates the pentylenetetrazol seizure threshold, alters electroencephalogram patterns in Felis catus, but does not affect the maximal electroshock seizure threshold in Oryctolagus cuniculus. Triethylcholine iodide can be used in seizure-related research.

Description

Triethylcholine iodide is a choline acetyltransferase inhibitor and a regulator of the acetylcholine synthesis pathway. Triethylcholine iodide inhibits acetylcholine synthesis in brain tissues and blocks neuromuscular and autonomic ganglionic transmission. Triethylcholine iodide exerts weak curare-like effects at extremely high concentrations. Triethylcholine iodide elevates the pentylenetetrazol seizure threshold, alters electroencephalogram patterns in Felis catus, but does not affect the maximal electroshock seizure threshold in Oryctolagus cuniculus. Triethylcholine iodide can be used in seizure-related research[1][2].

In Vitro

Triethylcholine (1.04-10.4 mg; 1 h) iodide inhibits acetylcholine synthesis in the "mitochondrial" fraction of untreated rabbit brain homogenates in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
When co-incubated with 0.4 mg choline for 1 hour, Triethylcholine (1.04-10.4 mg; administered 1 hour prior) iodide exhibits a much stronger inhibitory effect on acetylcholine synthesis in the "mitochondrial" fraction of rabbit brain homogenates without ether treatment (inhibition rate: 19-56%) than in that of ether-treated "mitochondrial" fractions (inhibition rate: 6-15%)[1].
Triethylcholine (10.4 mg; 1 h) iodide inhibits acetylcholine synthesis in fresh frozen sections of rabbit caudate nucleus by 48% under low choline levels, by 28% under moderate choline levels, and increases synthesis by 6% after 1 h of incubation under high choline levels[1].
Triethylcholine iodide reduces acetylcholine synthesis in in vitro brain tissues[2].

In Vivo

Triethylcholine iodide (100 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) increases the pentylenetetrazol convulsion threshold in spinal cord-transected cats by a mean of 47.6 mg/kg, elevating the threshold to 69.8 mg/kg[2].
Triethylcholine iodide (100 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) increases the pentylenetetrazol convulsion threshold in midbrain-transected cats to greater than 100 mg/kg, from a mean baseline of 19.5 mg/kg[2].
Triethylcholine iodide (100 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) does not significantly affect maximal electroshock seizure thresholds in male New Zealand albino rabbits[2].

Animal Model: Cat (male and female, 2.3-2.8 kg, spinal cord-transected)[2]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: i.v.; single dose
Result: Elevated the mean pentylenetetrazol threshold from 22.2 mg/kg to 69.8 mg/kg.
Converted drowsy-state EEG patterns to an alert pattern initially, followed by a near-isoelectric EEG pattern.
Animal Model: Cat (male and female, 2.3-2.8 kg, midbrain-transected)[2]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: i.v.; single dose
Result: Elevated the pentylenetetrazol threshold to values exceeding 100 mg/kg in all 4 midbrain-transected cats, from a mean control threshold of 19.5 mg/kg.
Abolished the drowsy-state low-frequency, high-amplitude EEG waves and changed the EEG to a near-isoelectric pattern.
Animal Model: New Zealand albino rabbit (male, 2-3 kg)[2]
Dosage: 100 mg/kg
Administration: i.v.; single dose
Result: Did not significantly alter maximal electroshock seizure thresholds; thresholds remained within 5 milliamperes of each rabbit's control value.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
