What is Glycopyrrolate?

Description

Glycopyrrolate is an antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs; K_is = 0.42, 1.77, 0.52, 0.78, and 1.29 nM for the M₁-M₅ receptors, respectively). It induces relaxation of precontracted isolated human bronchi when used at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, or 1 μM. Glycopyrrolate reduces post-prandial gastric antral motility in dogs when administered at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg. It inhibits salivation in a rat model of sialorrhea induced by pilocarpine with an ED₅₀ value of 0.74 μg/kg. Formulations containing glycopyrrolate have been used in the treatment of sialorrhea, peptic ulcers, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The Uses of Glycopyrrolate

Inhaled glycopyrrolate of is used to treat air flow blockage and prevent worsening of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD is a long-term lung disease that causes bronchospasm (difficulty with breathing).
