Notes: Acetyl-β-methylcholine is a muscarinic (M) receptor agonist.{36128} In wild-type mice, acetyl-β-methylcholine decreases heart rate and blood pressure and increases the airway pressure time index, a measure of bronchoconstriction, in a dose-dependent manner. Cardiac and pulmonary responses are abolished in M2 and M3 knockout mice, respectively, suggesting that acetyl-β-methylcholine acts on cardiac M2 and pulmonary M3 receptors. Formulations containing acetyl-β-methylcholine have been used to diagnose asthma and to monitor response to asthma therapies.{36129}
