Pentolinium is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a nicotinic antagonist that has been used as a ganglionic blocking agent in hypertension. [PubChem]Pentolinium binds to the nicotinic (ganglion) acetylcholine receptor. This receptor/channel is permeable to a range of divalent cations including calcium, the influx of which may activate a potassium current which hyperpolarizes the cell membrane. Blockage of the receptor leads to smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilaton.
