Benztropine
Benztropine is an anticholinergic drug primarily used to treat Parkinson's symptoms and extrapyramidal side effects of neuroleptics. It acts by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and inhibiting dopamine reuptake, leading to an improvement in dopaminergic balance in the brain. The substance can cause side effects such as dry mouth, confusion, and tachycardia. Due to its pharmacological profile, benztropine is also being investigated in research for the modulation of dopaminergic systems.
Mechanism of Action
- Dopamine reuptake inhibitor
- Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist
