    Product Description

    (+)-Pilocarpine-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of (+)-pilocarpine (Item No. 14487) by GC- or LC-MS. (+)-Pilocarpine is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist that binds to human hippocampal, pons, and submandibular gland membranes, which are endogenously enriched in the M1, M2, and M3 receptor subtypes, respectively (apparent Kis = 6, 8.2, and 6.9 μM, respectively).1 It induces salivary secretion in rats when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mg/kg.2 Topical administration of (+)-pilocarpine inhibits methylcellulose-induced increases in intraocular pressure in rabbits in a dose-dependent manner.3 (+)-Pilocarpine is a chemoconvulsant that has been used in the generation of temporal lobe epilepsy animal models.4,5,6 Formulations containing (+)-pilocarpine have been used in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure and dry mouth.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
