A rapid method for measuring miotic activity of drugs in the intact mouse eye
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A rapid and. precise method for evaluating the miotic activity of cholinergic drugs has been developed based on Long's method, for measuring the rate of mydriasis. The rate of reversal of mydriasis developed, previously in the intact mouse eye by a mild mydriatic (phencyclidine) is used to evaluate the miotic activity. The method provides a useful tool for measuring and comparing the miotic activity of acctylcholine agonists and cholinestcrasc inhibitors.

متن کاملDrugs affecting the cholinergic system in the intact mammalian eye. I. Evaluation of the miotic activity of acetylcholine-like drugs in the mouse eye.
The effect of concentration and pH on the miotic activity of five acetylcholine-like drugs were studied in the intact mouse eye. The data suggests that it is mainly the nonionized form of the drug which contributes to its miotic activity. Acetylcholine-like drugs, degradable by cholinesterases, exert their miotic activity at higher concentrations than do those which are resistant to enzymatic h...

the iris sphincter to a miotic drug. Different lipid solubilities and degradation of the drug by the cholinesterases present in the iris are but two examples. It was possible by the method described to evaluate the overall miotic activities of series of ACh agonists and cholinesterase inhibitors in the mouse eye. By comparing the dose-response dependence of non-ester acetylcholine-agonists (e.g...
متن کاملRAPID EYE MOVEMENT SLEEP DEPRIVATION INDUCES ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE A CTIVITY IN THE PREOPTIC AREA OF THE RAT BRAIN
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) is a large glycoprotein that, aside from its known cholinolytic activity, co-exists with other transmitter systems and possesses other functions. In the present study, the effects of short-term rapid-eye-movement sleep deprivation (REM-SD) on AchE activity in the anterior hypothalamic area have been investigated. Using the flower-pot method, adult male albino ra...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of a Rapid Derivative Spectrophotometric Method for Determination of Tropicamide in Eye Drops
Tropicamide is an antimuscarinic agent used as eye drops for refractive examinations. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and suitable analytical method for determination of tropicamide in eye drops in the presence of excipients. A zero-crossing third and fourth derivative spectrophotometric method was described for determination of tropicamide in eye drops. The measurements wer...
