M-Cholinomimetics

M-anticholinergic drugs are a group of drugs used to treat various diseases, the development of which is based on an increase in the activity of the body’s peripheral muscarinic cholinergic receptors. The increased activity of these receptors (including acetylcholine) promotes the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system and an increase in its tone, which leads to the development of corresponding symptoms (for example, drooling, lacrimation, bronchospasm, etc.). Therefore, the effect of all drugs from this group is based on a decrease in the activity of central (brain) cholinesterase enzymes that destroy and/or block the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetyl-CoA acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
