High-Purity Anticholinergic Agent for Neuroscience and Pharmacological Research
Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate is a high-purity salt form of scopolamine, a tropane alkaloid derived from plants in the Solanaceae family (e.g., Hyoscyamus niger, Atropa belladonna). It exhibits potent anti-muscarinic, anti-emetic, and anti-spasmodic activities by competitively blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). Supplied at ≥99% purity, this compound is widely used in neuroscience and pharmacological research—especially in animal models of memory impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Purity (≥99%): Suitable for reliable and reproducible research results
- Pharmacologically Relevant: Exhibits potent competitive anti-muscarinic activity
- Animal Model Utility: Frequently used to induce transient cognitive deficits in rodents
- Versatile Applications: Useful in memory, neurodegeneration, and cholinergic signaling research
- Available Formats: Supplied in 1 g, 5 g, and 25 g glass bottles
