M-holinoblokator, in comparison with atropine has less influence on peripheral m-holinoretseptory (on action on smooth muscle cells of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract and circular muscle of the iris is 5-10 times weaker than atropine). Blocking m-holinoretseptory, violates the transmission of nerve impulses from postganglionic cholinergic nerves to the innervated effector organs and tissues (heart, smooth muscle organs,glands of external secretion); suppresses also n-holinoretseptory (much weaker). Holin-blocking effect is more pronounced against a background of increased tone of the parasympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system or the action of m-cholinostimulators. To a lesser extent than atropine, causes tachycardia, especially when used in large doses. Decreasing the effect of n.vagus, improves the conductance of the heart, increases the excitability of the myocardium, increases the minute volume of blood.
It has a direct myotropic antispasmodic effect, causes the expansion of small vessels of the skin. In high doses, the vasomotor center depresses and blocks sympathetic ganglia, as a result of which vessels dilate and blood pressure decreases (mainly with intravenous administration).
Weaker atropine depresses the secretion of endocrine glands; causes a marked decrease in the tone of smooth muscles, the amplitude and frequency of peristaltic contractions of the stomach, duodenum, small and large intestine, a moderate decrease in the tone of the gallbladder (in persons with hyperkinesia of bile ducts).It causes relaxation of the smooth muscles of the uterus, bladder and urinary tract; providing spasmolytic action, eliminates pain syndrome. Relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchi, caused by increased n.vagus tone or holinostimuljatorami, increases the minute volume of breathing, inhibits the secretion of the bronchial glands; reduces the tone of sphincters.
When instilled in the conjunctival sac of the eye and parenteral administration, the pupil dilates due to relaxation of the sphincter of the pupil. At the same time, the intraocular pressure rises and paralysis of accommodation sets in (relaxation of the ciliary muscle of the ciliary body). In comparison with atropine, the effect on accommodation is less pronounced and shorter. Excites the brain and respiratory center, mostly - the spinal cord (in high doses, cramps, depression of the central nervous system, vasomotor and respiratory centers are possible). Penetrates through the blood-brain barrier.
