    Product Description

    AF-DX 384 is an antagonist of M2 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Kis = 6.03 and 10 nM, respectively).1 It is selective for M2 and M4 over M1, M3, and M5 receptors (Kis = 30.9, 66.07, and 537.03 nM, respectively). AF-DX 384 increases acetylcholine release in the hippocampus and cortex of young and aged rats in vivo when infused locally at a concentration of 1 µM and in the cortex when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 5 mg/kg.2 It reverses deficits in novel object recognition and passive avoidance in aged rats, as well as in young rats with impairments induced by scopolamine (Item No. 14108).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
