Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Conditions:
Piroheptine is an antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. The drug was used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, however, it is no longer marketed.
Status:

Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Pirenzepine is a M1 muscarinic receptor antagonist, which is prescribed for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer in Europe. The drug preferentially acts on the gastric mucosa to inhibit secretion of both gastric acid and pepsin. Experiment with healthy volunteers demonstrated that pirenzepine passes the blood-brain barrier, but only to a small extent.

Conditions:
Lofepramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that is structurally similar to imipramine and is extensively metabolised to desipramine. In the absence of other major pharmacological effects it appears that its antidepressant activity stems from the facilitation of noradrenergic neurotransmission by uptake inhibition, and possibly by the additional facilitation of serotoninergic neurotransmission. The overall therapeutic efficacy of lofepramine is comparable to that of imipramine, amitriptyline, clomipramine, maprotiline and mianserin in patients with depression of varying severity, and coexisting anxiety. Lofepramine is a strong inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake (Ki=5.4 nM) and a moderate inhibitor of serotonin reuptake (Ki=70 nM). It is a weak-intermediate level antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.Lofepramine is licensed for the treatment of depression in the United Kingdom.

Mebeverine is an antispasmodic with a direct action on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. The exact mechanism of action is not known, but multiple mechanisms, such as a decrease in ion channel permeabilities, blockade of noradrenaline reuptake, a local anesthetic effects, as well as weak anti-muscarinic and phosphodiesterase inhibitory effect might contribute to the local effects of Mebeverine. This medicine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar problems such as chronic irritable colon, spastic constipation, mucous colitis and spastic colitis. Most people will not have problems with Mebeverine, but some may get some side effects, such as: difficulty in breathing, swelling of face, neck, tongue or throat, skin rash, red itchy skin.

Conditions:
Dibenzepin is a tricyclic antidepressant of the dibenzo-epine group. It is a selective noradrenaline uptake inhibitor, which exhibits in vitro and in vivo imipramine-like effects. It binds strongly to histamine H1 receptors in the brain and, to a lesser extent, to cholinergic receptors. The pharmacological profile of dibenzepin corresponds widely to its biochemical properties: histamine antagonism, tetrabenazine antagonism, potentiation of various noradrenergic effects and anticholinergic effects. Dibenzepin is only available in European countries for the treatment of depression.

Targets:
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.

Targets:
cis-Dosulepin is a stereoisomer of Dothiepin (trade name Prothiaden, Dothep, Thaden, and Dopress; Dosulepin (INN, BAN) a tricyclic antidepressant that is used in several European and South Asian countries, as well as Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. Dosulepin is used for the treatment of the major depressive disorder and neuropathic pain. Dosulepin is only Therapeutic Goods Administration and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approved for the treatment of the major depressive disorder. Dothiepin is not used in the United States. The central action of cis-dosulepin was compared with that of its antidepressant stereoisomer trans-dosulepin, cis-dosulepin exerted weaker anti-reserpine, anti-tetrabenazine, and 3H-5-HT (serotonin) uptake inhibiting actions than trans-dosulepin, but cis-dosulepin's inhibition of 3H-dopamine and 3H-norepinephrine uptake was slightly more potent than that of trans-dosulepin. On the other hand, cis-dosulepin exhibited extremely potent anticholinergic action in oxotremorine induced tremor, isolated ileum and the 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate binding test. It also showed potent apomorphine enhancing the action and shortened the period of immobility in the forced swimming test in animals.

MIXTURE
Conditions:
Mivacurium chloride (Mivacron) is a new benzylisoquinolinium choline-like diester neuromuscular blocking drug with an onset of action at equipotent doses that is comparable to atracurium and vecuronium but slower than succinylcholine. MIVACRON (a mixture of three stereoisomers) binds competitively to cholinergic receptors on the
motor end-plate to antagonize the action of acetylcholine, resulting in a block of neuromuscular
transmission. This action is antagonized by acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as neostigmine. MIVACRON is a short-acting neuromuscular blocking agent indicated for inpatients and outpatients,
as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate tracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle
relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation.

Conditions:
Atracurium is an intermediate-duration, nondepolarizing, skeletal muscle relaxant for intravenous administration. It is used, as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. Most adverse reactions were suggestive of histamine release. Common side effects include flushing of the skin and low blood pressure. Drugs which may enhance the neuromuscular blocking action of atracurium include: enflurane; isoflurane; halothane; certain antibiotics, especially the aminoglycosides and polymyxins; lithium; magnesium salts; procainamide; and quinidine.
