From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A muscarinic receptor antagonist is an agent that reduces the activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. Most of them are synthetic, but scopolamine and atropine are belladonna alkaloids, and are naturally extracted.
Important[1] muscarinic antagonists include atropine, hyoscine, ipratropium, tropicamide, cyclopentolate and pirenzepine.
