Benztropine (mesylate)

Benztropine is an antagonist of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (Ki = 0.59 nM in rat brain membranes). It is selective for M1 receptors over the serotonin transporter (Ki = 5,150 nM), however, it also binds to the dopamine transporter and inhibits dopamine reuptake (Kis = 237 and 130 nM, respectively). Benztropine also inhibits acid sphingomyelinase by 87% when used at a concentration of 10 mM. Formulations containing benztropine have been used in the management of Parkinson's disease symptoms such as involuntary tremor and dystonia.Formal Name: (3-endo)-3-(diphenylmethoxy)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, monomethanesulfonate.
