General description

Methoctramine (N, N′-bis [6-[[(2-methoxyphenyl)-methyl] hexyl]-1, 8-octane] diamine) is a derivative of polymethylene tetramine.

Application

Methoctramine hydrate has been used:

As a muscarinic receptor 2 antogonist.
As a test molecule to check its effect on premature osteogenic differentiation of HGPS (Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome) iPS (induced pluripotent)-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methoctramine is a selective M2 muscarinic receptor antagonist at nM concentrations. At mM concentrations, methoctramine directly inhibits the high affinity GTPase activity of G proteins. In oesophageal muscle, acetylcholine-mediated increase in calcium and arachidonic acid release were reduced by the M2 receptor antagonist, methoctramine. Methoctramine infused bilaterally in the dorsolateral striatum, considerably enhanced memory in cognitively impaired aged rats. Methoctramine plays a vital role in muscarinic receptor classification.

Methoctramine is a selective M2 muscarinic receptor antagonist at nM concentrations. At mM concentrations, methoctramine directly inhibits the high affinity GTPase activity of G proteins. The increase in calcium and arachidonic acid release were attenuated by the M2 receptor antagonist methoctramine, but not by the M3 receptor antagonist p-fluoro-hexahydro siladifenidol.

Synergistic Action of Presynaptic Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Adenosine Receptors in Developmental Axonal Competition at the Neuromuscular Junction.

Laura Nadal et al.

Developmental neuroscience, 38(6), 407-419 (2017-04-27)

The development of the nervous system involves the initial overproduction of synapses, which promotes connectivity. Hebbian competition between axons with different activities leads to the loss of roughly half of the overproduced elements and this refines connectivity. We used quantitative

British journal of pharmacology, 127(4), 1021-1029 (1999-08-05)

1. The effects of spermine and methoctramine, a selective M2 muscarinic receptor antagonist, were studied on the high-affinity GTPase activity of G proteins, and on ligand binding to M2 muscarinic receptors in pig heart sarcolemma. 2. The spontaneous GTP hydrolysis

Cytotoxicity of methoctramine and methoctramine-related polyamines.

Maddalena Zini et al.

Chemico-biological interactions, 181(3), 409-416 (2009-07-07)

Methoctramine and its analogues are polymethylene tetramines that selectively bind to a variety of receptor sites. Although these compounds are widely used as pharmacological tools for receptor characterization, the toxicological properties of these polyamine-based structures are largely unknown. We have
