Guvacoline (hydrobromide)
Target: atrial and ileal muscarinic receptors
IC50: 2.1 mM for growth inhibition of human buccal epithelial cells
Guvacoline is a kind of natural alkaloid which is found in areca nuts that is related to the nootropic, arecoline. Guvacoline can function as a full agonist of atrial and ileal muscarinic receptors.
In Vitro: In human buccal epithelial cells, Guvacoline could significantly decrease the colony-formation efficiency in a dose dependent manner, with the IC50 value of 2.1 mM. Besides, Guvacoline could also dose-dependently reduce the amount of total free low-molecular-weight thiols (0.88 mM Guvacoline caused 25% decrease) and increase the number of single strand breaks [1].
In Vivo: No data available recently.
Clinical trial: No data available recently.
