Application

Gallamine triethiodide has been used:
  • as a relaxant for measuring spinal trigeminal nucleus recordings from single neurons.
  • as an antagonist in neuroblastoma cells as M2 receptor
  • to reduce eye movement during retinal surgery in rat

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gallamine triethiodide has anti-muscarinic effect. It is a competitive antagonist for the muscarinic receptor. Gallamine is regarded as neuromuscular blocking agent.
Muscle relaxant; allosteric muscarinic receptor antagonist with an order of potency of M2 > M1 = M4 > M3 = M5. Ligand for the peripheral anionic binding site of acetylcholinesterase.
