Application

1,1-Dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide (DMPP) has been used as a non-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) agonist:
  • to study the roles of α7 and α4β2 nAchRs in autonomic regulation of cardiovascular responses in urethane-anesthetized mice
  • to study the mechanism involved in improving glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice treated with DMPP
  • to study its pharmacological effect on enteric viscerofugal neurons in the myenteric plexus of guinea-pig colon

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,1-Dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide (DMPP) is a non-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) agonist. It acts as a stimulating agent for sympathetic ganglia. DMPP exhibits specific action on ganglia and adrenal medullary tissue hence, it finds its application in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) localized to excitatory longitudinal muscle motoneurons were studied in segments of guinea pig ileum maintained in vitro. Longitudinal muscle contractions caused by the nAChRs agonists, dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP), nicotine, and cytisine were measured using isometric strain gauge

A series of piperazine derivatives, obtained by hybridization of N1-acetyl-N4-dimethyl-piperazinium iodide (1, ADMP) and N1-phenyl-N4-dimethyl-piperazinium iodide (3, DMPP) or of the corresponding tertiary bases (2, 4) with arecoline (5) and arecolone (6) or by isosteric substitution of the phenyl ring

Enteric viscerofugal neurons are mechanosensory interneurons that form the afferent limb of intestino-intestinal reflexes involving prevertebral sympathetic neurons. Fast synaptic inputs to viscerofugal neurons arise from other enteric neurons, but their sources are unknown. We aimed to describe the origins
