Application

Gallamine triethiodide has been used:
  • as a relaxant for measuring spinal trigeminal nucleus recordings from single neurons.
  • as an antagonist in neuroblastoma cells as M2 receptor
  • to reduce eye movement during retinal surgery in rat

Biochem/physiol Actions

Muscle relaxant; allosteric muscarinic receptor antagonist with an order of potency of M2 > M1 = M4 > M3 = M5. Ligand for the peripheral anionic binding site of acetylcholinesterase.
Gallamine triethiodide has anti-muscarinic effect. It is a competitive antagonist for the muscarinic receptor. Gallamine is regarded as neuromuscular blocking agent.

The inhibitory effect of gallamine on muscarinic receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, 58(3), 323-331 (1976)
Paul W Elsinghorst et al.
Journal of medicinal chemistry, 50(23), 5685-5695 (2007-10-20)
Gallamine and tacrine are allosteric antagonists at muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptors and inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. At both acetylcholine-binding proteins, gallamine and tacrine are known to occupy two different binding sites: in M2 receptors within the allosteric binding area and in
Dar'ya S Redka et al.
Molecular pharmacology, 74(3), 834-843 (2008-06-17)
The M(2) muscarinic receptor has two topographically distinct sites: the orthosteric site and an allosteric site recognized by compounds such as gallamine. It also can exhibit cooperative effects in the binding of orthosteric ligands, presumably to the orthosteric sites within
