Application

Mecamylamine hydrochloride has been used as an additive in extracellular saline during current-clamp recordings to reduce synaptic input. It has also been used as a non-selective nicotinic acetyl choline receptor blocker in aortic body neurons and in MLO-Y4 cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Noncompetitive nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist; preferentially blocks nicotinic receptors at autonomic ganglia; crosses blood-brain barrier.

Pharmacological mechanisms involved in nicotine-induced seizures were investigated in mice by testing the ability of several nicotinic agonists in producing seizures after peripheral administration. In addition, nicotinic antagonists such as hexamethonium, mecamylamine, dihydro-beta-erythroidine, and methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA) were used in
