Xerostomia in Sjogren's syndrome is the indication for cevimeline hydrochloride, the salt form of a muscarinic agonist that stimulates residual exocrine tissue to secrete saliva. Because the action is cholinergic, conditions aggravated by parasympathetic stimulation call for caution: asthma, narrow-angle glaucoma and cardiovascular disease are the situations named in the product literature. Adequate fluid intake accompanies treatment so that the stimulated glands have substrate to draw upon. The salt reproduces the receptor pharmacology of the parent compound without modifying it. The formulation is recorded with the formula C20H38Cl2N2O3S2 and a mass near 489.6 g/mol, and it is an approved small-molecule agent developed through the final clinical phase.

The hydrochloride salt formulation of cevimeline provides the same muscarinic agonist activity as the parent compound, used for xerostomia in Sjögren's syndrome. It should be used cautiously in patients with asthma, narrow-angle glaucoma, or cardiovascular disease, as cholinergic stimulation may worsen these conditions. Adequate fluid intake is recommended to maximize its salivary stimulant benefit.

作用機序

A muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist with relative selectivity for the M3 subtype. Cevimeline stimulates M3 receptors on salivary and lacrimal gland epithelium, increasing exocrine secretion and relieving dry mouth and dry eyes. The same cholinergic stimulation accounts for sweating and nausea, and for the caution required in asthma, narrow-angle glaucoma and cardiovascular disease.
