Metabolite Identification
Common NameCarbachol
DescriptionCarbachol, also known as miostat or carbastat, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carbamate esters. Carbamate esters are compounds containing an ester of carbamic acid with the general structure R2NC(=O)OR' (R' not H). They are esters of carbamic acids. Carbachol is an extremely weak acidic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Carbachol is a potentially toxic compound. Carbachol is a parasympathomimetic that stimulates both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. In topical ocular and intraocular administration its principal effects are miosis and increased aqueous humour outflow. Carbachol is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a slowly hydrolyzed cholinergic agonist that acts at both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors.
