Application

1,1-Dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide (DMPP) has been used as a non-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) agonist:
  • to study the roles of α7 and α4β2 nAchRs in autonomic regulation of cardiovascular responses in urethane-anesthetized mice
  • to study the mechanism involved in improving glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice treated with DMPP
  • to study its pharmacological effect on enteric viscerofugal neurons in the myenteric plexus of guinea-pig colon

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,1-Dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide (DMPP) is a non-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) agonist. It acts as a stimulating agent for sympathetic ganglia. DMPP exhibits specific action on ganglia and adrenal medullary tissue hence, it finds its application in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
