nAChR[1], histamine receptor[2]

In Vitro Mecamylamine (0.5-9 μM, bath administered) increases the firing frequency of identified 5-HT DRN neurons[1]. Mecamylamine (0.5-9 μM, bath administered) increases the glutamatergic and decreases the GABAergic input of 5-HT DRN neurons[1]. Mecamylamine (1 mM, 5 min) blocks the histamine receptor and the histamine-induced contractions in helically cut strips of rabbit aorta[2]. Mecamylamine (10 μM,48 h) attenuates the effect of nicotine’s action of neuroprotection[3]. Mecamylamine (1-100 nM, 30 min) dose-dependently attenuates endothelial tube formation in HDMVECs[4]. Western Blot Analysis[3] Cell Line: [3] Concentration: 10 μM Incubation Time: 48 h Result: Reduced the nicotine-facilitated increase in ERK1/2.
In Vivo Mecamylamine (subcutaneous pumps, 50 mg/kg/day, 2 days) inhibits Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in CNV mice model[4]. Mecamylamine (intraperitoneal injection, 0.5-1 mg/kg) has antidepressant-like effects in both the TST (tail suspension test) and FST (forced swim test) in C57BL/6J mice, which are dependent on bothβ2 andα7 subunits[5]. Animal Model: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mice model[1] Dosage: 50 mg/kg/day, 2 days Administration: Subcutaneous pumps implanted beneath the skin of the back), 200 μL and mean pumping rate of 0.5 μL/h. Result: Suppressed the development of CNV at Bruch’s membrane rupture sites in the absence of nicotine. Animal Model: C57BL/6J mice[5] Dosage: 0.5-1 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection Result: Had no effect in β2 knockout miceand α7 knockout mice, but decreased immobility time in wildtype littermates in the FST.
