HIDE SMILES / InChI
Carbachol is a potent cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) agent which produces constriction of the iris and ciliary body resulting in reduction in intraocular pressure.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Carbachol does not pass the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) however it produces cholinergic effects on brain blood vessels from the luminal side, whereas the effects on dural and extracranial vessels are from both the luminal and abluminal side since they are devoid of BBB

Sample Use Guides

MIOSTAT (CARBACHOL INTRAOCULAR SOLUTION, USP) 0.01% Aseptically remove the sterile vial from the blister package by peeling the backing paper and dropping the vial onto a sterile tray. Withdraw the contents into a dry sterile syringe, and replace the needle with an atraumatic cannula prior to intraocular instillation. No more than one-half milliliter should be gently instilled into the anterior chamber for the production of satisfactory miosis. It may be instilled before or after securing sutures. Miosis is usually maximal within two to five minutes after application.
Route of Administration: Other
In the dose-course studies, carbachol showed significant increase in phosphorylation of MYPT1 at Thr696 (p-MYPT1) from concentrations of 15-100 μM based on Western blot results (p < 0.05, ANOVA test). In the time-course studies, treatment of cells with 15 μM of carbachol significantly enhanced the expression of p-MYPT1 from 3 to 15 h (p < 0.05, ANOVA test) and induced the expression of Rho A from 10 to 120 min (p < 0.05, ANOVA test).
