Trimethaphan is a ganglionic blocker that acts by competitively antagonizing acetylcholine at nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia. It is synthesized by reacting 3-(2,6-dimethylpiperidino)propan-1-ol with 1-bromo-2-chloroethane. Trimethaphan has a rapid onset of action and a short duration of action, making it suitable for use in the management of hypertensive emergencies. Trimethaphan is studied for its potential use in the treatment of various conditions, including hypertensive crises, pheochromocytoma, and acute aortic dissection. It is also being investigated for its potential use in the prevention of intracerebral hemorrhage.'
Trimethaphan: A nicotinic antagonist that has been used as a ganglionic blocker in hypertension, as an adjunct to anesthesia, and to induce hypotension during surgery.
trimethaphan : A complex heterocyclic sulfonium compound with an imidazolium core, used to treat hypertension.

Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes).
