Cotinine is a product formed after the chemical nicotine enters the body. Measuring cotinine in people’s blood is the most reliable way to determine exposure to nicotine for both smokers and nonsmokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Cotinine is safe, non-addictive and has pharmacokinetic properties adequate for therapeutic use. Research has shown that cotinine has antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties and modulates the serotonergic, cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. Cotinine behaves as a positive allosteric modulator of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and has anti-inflammatory effects. Cotinine is under investigation as an agent for the treatment of depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Pitofenone is a spasmolytic agent. It exerts anticholinesterase and antimuscarinic activities. Pitofenone is used to relieve pain and spasms of smooth muscles. Pitofenone is also used for the treatment of back pain, sprains, and strains. Pitofenone is used in combination along with fenpiverinium bromide, and metamizole sodium. The drug is currently sold in Eastern Europe and India under various trade names. The combined preparation possesses strong analgesic, spasmolytic, cholinolytic and anti-inflammatory effects on the smooth muscles predominantly of the gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. Indications are strong pain in gastric or intestinal colic, kidney and gallstones, and for painful menstruation. Pitofenone hydrochloride present in the combination exerts papaverin-like spasmolytic effect on the vascular and extra-vascular smooth muscles of the stomach, intestines, urinary tract, biliary tract, and uterus.
Tiemonium (often used in a form of iodide or methylsulphate salt) is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, which is available in Asia (mainly Bangladesh) for the alleviation of muscle spasms of the intestine, biliary system, uterus and urinary bladder in gastrointestinal, biliary, urinary and gynecological diseases.
Minaprine, a psychotropic drug, which was effective in the treatment of various depressive states. This drug was withdrawn because of the serious side effect. It was found, that minaprine inhibited the following enzymes, acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase (MOA) A. It also binds to dopamine D1 and D2 receptors. Experiments on rodents also have revealed that minaprine suppressed the inhibitory effect of hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on dopamine (DA) release via the inhibition of 5-HT binding at the 5-HT2 receptor on the nerve terminal.
The anticholinergic agent Flutropium is a classic competitive antagonist of acetylcholine. In in vitro experiments it is more effective than atropine. A poor enteral absorption is to be expected; this can be concluded from the low relative effectiveness after oral administration. After local administration as an aerosol it is superior to atropine with regard to both effectiveness and duration of action. It is used in Japan to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Flutropium can be described as a preparation which is free of side effects.
Bevonium is a parasympatolytic antimuscarinic compound. It possesses spasmolytic properties. The use of the drug is discontinued.

Conditions:

Aceclidine is a parasympathomimetic agent used in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma as topical eye drop solution. It is as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist with weak anticholinesterase activity. Acting directly on the motor end-plate (cholinergic nerve endings) it decreases intraocular pressure and mediates the contraction of iris muscle. Aceclidine increased outflow facility in human eyes in vitro by a direct stimulation of the outflow tissues in the absence of an intact ciliary muscle. This effect was biphasic, occurring at concentrations of 10 uM and lower with no effect at higher concentrations. Passed numerous clinical trials in Russia, France, Italy and other countries and was widely used in Europe but never been in clinical use in USA.

Oxitropium bromide (trade names Oxivent, Tersigan) is a bronchodilator indicated for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Oxitropium’s bronchodilation effect is similar to that of ipratropium bromide, but oxitropium is longer-lasting. The usual dose is 200 ug, 2–3 times daily. It blocks the muscarinic cholinergic receptors which mediate smooth muscle contraction in the airways. The manufacturer claims that regular use of oxitropium (200μg twice or three times daily) reduces the incidence of symptoms, including the need for night-time bronchodilators, and improves lung function in some patients; it is not intended for immediate symptom relief. Although widely used for many years (alone or in combination with short-acting beta agonists) for both maintenance treatment of stable disease and exacerbation of airway obstruction, Boehringer Ingelheim announced the discontinuation of Oxivent formulations at May 2004.

Camylofin is an antimuscarinic. This medication is used as antispasmodic in biliary colic, renal and ureteric colic, dysmenorrhoea, peptic ulcer and chronic enterocolitis. It is used to treat stomach ache in infants and children. Camylofin should be the first choice and may be preferred over other drugs for cervical dilatation and acceleration of active phase of labor.
Benzilonium is an antispasmodic and antimuscarinic drug. Benzilonium bromide is a quarternary antimuscarinic agent with minimal passage of the blood-brain barrier.
