Description

Beta-methylcholine is a synthetic muscarinic agonist. It is a quaternary ammonium compound that is structurally similar to acetylcholine. Beta-methylcholine is used in research to study the effects of muscarinic receptor activation. It has been shown to increase heart rate, lower blood pressure, and stimulate smooth muscle contraction. Beta-methylcholine is also used to treat certain types of urinary retention. The compound is not currently used clinically, but is still studied as a potential therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions. It is important to note that beta-methylcholine can have significant side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Therefore, it is essential that beta-methylcholine is only used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.'

beta-methylcholine: RN given refers to non-isomeric parent cpd; see also record for methylcholine; do not confuse with alpha-methylcholine [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
