    Product Description

    5-hydroxymethyl Tolterodine is an active metabolite of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists tolterodine (Item No. 15027) and fesoterodine (Item No. 23777).1 It is formed from tolterodine by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2D6 and from fesoterodine by plasma esterases.2,1 5-hydroxymethyl Tolterodine inhibits M1-5 muscarinic receptors with Ki values of 2.3, 2, 2.5, 2.8, and 2.9 nM, respectively, for the human receptors expressed in CHO cells.3 It selectively inhibits acetylcholine-induced bladder contraction over electrically induced salivation in anesthetized cats (ID50s = 15 and 40 nmol/kg, respectively).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
