Application

1,1-Dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide (DMPP) has been used as a non-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) agonist:
  • to study the roles of α7 and α4β2 nAchRs in autonomic regulation of cardiovascular responses in urethane-anesthetized mice
  • to study the mechanism involved in improving glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice treated with DMPP
  • to study its pharmacological effect on enteric viscerofugal neurons in the myenteric plexus of guinea-pig colon

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,1-Dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide (DMPP) is a non-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) agonist. It acts as a stimulating agent for sympathetic ganglia. DMPP exhibits specific action on ganglia and adrenal medullary tissue hence, it finds its application in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.

Enteric viscerofugal neurons are mechanosensory interneurons that form the afferent limb of intestino-intestinal reflexes involving prevertebral sympathetic neurons. Fast synaptic inputs to viscerofugal neurons arise from other enteric neurons, but their sources are unknown. We aimed to describe the origins

Tachykinins are important neurotransmitters regulating intestinal motility. Slow transit constipation (STC) represents an extreme colonic dysmotility with unknown etiology that predominantly affects women. We examined whether the tachykinin system is involved in the pathogenesis of STC. Isolated sigmoid colon circular

Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are classic competitive-inhibitors at the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Although the fetal subtype muscle nAChR has been extensively studied at a molecular level, less is known about the interaction between nondepolarizing NMBAs and the
