MemberDefinitionClass
biperidenA member of the class of piperidines that is N-propylpiperidine in which the methyl hydrogens have been replaced by hydroxy, phenyl, and 5-norbornen-2-yl groups. A muscarinic antagonist affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems, it is used in the treatment of all forms of Parkinson's disease.biperiden
biperiden hydrochlorideThe hydrochloride salt of biperiden. A muscarinic antagonist affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems, it is used in the treatment of all forms of Parkinson's disease.biperiden hydrochloride
cyclopentolateA carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation of (1-hydroxycyclopentyl)(phenyl)acetic acid with N,N-dimethylethanolamine. A tertiary amine antimuscarinic with actions similar to atropine, it is used as its hydrochloride salt to produce mydriasis (excessive dilation of the pupil) and cycloplegia (paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye) for opthalmic diagnostic procedures. It acts more quickly than atropine and has a shorter duration of action.cyclopentolate
dicyclomineThe ester resulting from the formal condensation of 1-cyclohexylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid with 2-(diethylamino)ethanol. An anticholinergic, it is used as the hydrochloride to treat or prevent spasm in the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly that associated with irritable bowel syndrome.dicyclomine
diphemanil methylsulfateThe alkene resulting from the formal Wittig olefination of benzophenone and 1,1-dimethyl-4-bromopiperidinium methylsulfate. A quaternary ammonium anticholinergic, it binds muscarinic acetycholine receptors and thereby decreases secretory excretion of stomach acids, saliva and sweat, It is used topically in the treatment of hyperhidorsis (excessive sweating).diphemanil methylsulfate
flavoxateA carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation of 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylic acid with 2-(1-piperidinyl)ethanol.flavoxate
flavoxate hydrochlorideThe hydrochloride salt of flavoxate.flavoxate hydrochloride
glycerylphosphorylcholineA member of the class of phosphocholines that is the choline ester of sn-glycero-3-phosphate. It is one of the major osmolyte in the renal medullary cells.choline alfoscerate
octotropine methylbromideA quaternary ammonium salt resulting from the reaction of the amino group of anisotropine with methyl bromide.anisotropine methylbromide
orphenadrineA tertiary amino compound which is the phenyl-o-tolylmethyl ether of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol.orphenadrine
orphenadrine citrateA citrate salt which comprises equimolar amounts of orphenadrine and citric acid.orphenadrine citrate
orphenadrine hydrochlorideA hydrochloride comprising equimolar amounts of ophenadrine and hydrogen chloride.orphenadrine hydrochloride
oxybutyninA racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-oxybutynin and esoxybutynin. An antispasmodic used for the treatment of overactive bladder.4-(diethylamino)but-2-yn-1-ol; oxybutynin
