Product Information

• Description: Benztropine is a drug that binds to the 5-HT2 receptors in the brain, which are involved in the regulation of many physiological functions, including motor control and memory. Benztropine is used primarily as an antiparkinsonian drug. It also has been shown to inhibit uptake of dopamine by blocking the dopamine transporter. This inhibition prevents reuptake of dopamine into presynaptic neurons, leading to increases in extracellular levels of dopamine and increased activity at dopaminergic synapses. Benztropine has been found to be a low-potency inhibitor of binding to certain other drugs, such as tricyclic antidepressant drugs and pharmacological agents.
