Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• Solid
• 131.37 Ų [M]+ [CCS Type: TW; Method: calibrated with polyalanine and drug standards]
• Bethanechol is selective for muscarinic receptors and has little to no impact on nicotinic receptors. The charged quaternary amine in the structure of bethanechol prevents it from crossing the blood-brain barrier which minimizes central nervous system related adverse effects.
