(±)-Muscarine chloride  (Synonyms: DL-Muscarin chloride)

(±)-Muscarine chloride is the racemate of Muscarine chloride. Muscarine is a prototype muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist^[1][2].

The sites activated by (±)-Muscarine chloride (injected into the cerebral ventricles of conscious cats) in the CNS producing aggressive behaviour have the following characteristics: in high doses muscarine acted on muscarinic cholinoceptive sites, while in small doses it activated the cholinoceptive sites having muscarinic and nicotinic characteristics^[1].
