Procyclidine M1 Antispasmodic Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Procyclidine is an antispasmodic drug used to treat parkinsonism of various types and in the treatment of extrapyramidal symptoms. A muscarinic antagonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is used in the treatment of drug-induced extrapyramidal disorders and in parkinsonism. Procyclidine has an atropine-like action on parasympathetic-innervated peripheral structures including smooth muscle. Its antispasmodic effects are thought to be related to the blockage of central cholinergic receptors M1, M2 and M4. It is used to treat symptomatic Parkinsonism and extrapyramidal dysfunction caused by antipsychotic agents. The mechanism of action is unknown. It is thought that Procyclidine acts by blocking central cholinergic receptors, and thus balancing cholinergic and dopaminergic activity in the basal ganglia. Many of its effects are due to its pharmacologic similarities with atropine. Procyclidine exerts an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle, and may produce mydriasis and reduction in salivation. By blocking the M1 receptor, the action of acetylcholine is blocked. Procyclidine is administered as an oral tablet. Possible side effects of using procyclidine may include flushing, pupil dilation, blurred vision, and dry mouth.

Procyclidine Drug Metabolism

Homo sapiens
Procyclidine is a drug that is not metabolized by the human body as determined by current research and biotransformer analysis. Procyclidine passes through the liver and is then excreted from the body mainly through the kidney.

Prochlorperazine Mechanism of Action Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Prochlorperazine is administered orally. It is a phenothiazine derivative, used in the treatment of schizophrenia and anxiety and to relieve severe nausea and vomiting. Dopamine-antagonizing medications such as prochlorperazine are thought to improve psychotic symptoms and states that are caused by an over-production of dopamine, such as schizophrenia, which is theorized to be caused by a hyperdopaminergic state within the limbic system of the brain. Use of the first-generation antipsychotics (including prochlorperazine) is considered effective for the management of the "positive" symptoms of schizophrenia including hallucinations, hearing voices, aggression/hostility, disorganized speech, and psychomotor agitation. However, this class of drugs is also limited by the development of movement disorders induced by dopamine-blockade such as drug-induced parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, as well as other side effects including sedation, weight gain, and prolactin changes. It depresses the chemoreceptor trigger zone and blocking D2 dopamine receptors in the brain. It was shown to also block histaminergic, cholinergic and noradrenergic receptors.

It is used for the treatment of severe nausea and vomiting. It mainly works by depressing the chemoreceptor trigger zone and blocking D2 dopamine receptors in the brain. It was shown to also block histaminergic, cholinergic and noradrenergic receptors.
