Oxybutynin is an antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Kis = 5, 14.5, 3.7, 5.3, and 40 nM for human recombinant M1-5, respectively).1 It inhibits intracellular calcium mobilization induced by carbamoylcholine (carbachol; Item No. 14486) in bladder smooth muscle and submandibular gland cells isolated from cynomolgus monkeys (Kis = 2 and 1 nM, respectively).2 Oxybutynin inhibits volume-induced bladder contraction (VIBC) and oxotremorine-induced salivation (OIS) in rats (ID50s = 0.062 and 0.089 mg/kg, respectively).1 It also increases pupil diameter (PD) and locomotor activity (LMA; ED50s = 0.29 and 0.52 mg/kg, respectively) and decreases small intestinal transit (SIT; ID50 = 0.22 mg/kg) in rats. Formulations containing oxybutynin have been used in the treatment of overactive bladder.
