General description
An unsubstituted carbamoyl ester that acts as an agonist for nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Carbachol is totally resistant to the action of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and non-specific cholinesterases. Inhibits apoptotic death of cultured granule neurons.
An unsubstituted carbamoyl ester that acts as an agonist for nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Known to increase cytosolic Ca2+ and InsP3 and decrease cAMP levels. Resistant to the action of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and non-specific cholinesterases. Inhibits apoptotic death of cultured granule neurons.
