Quinine is a natural cinchona alkaloid that has been used for centuries in the prevention and therapy of malaria. Quinine is also used for idiopathic muscle cramps. Quinine therapy has been associated with rare instances of hypersensitivity reactions which can be accompanied by hepatitis and mild jaundice.

Clidinium bromide (Ro 2-3773) , a synthetic anticholinergic agent, has been shown in experimental and clinical researchers to have a pronounced antisecretory and antispasmodic effect on the gastrointestinal tract. It can inhibit muscarinic actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic parasympathetic neuroeffector sites. It is used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and also to help relieve cramps or stomach spasms or abdominal due to colicky abdominal diverticulitis, pain, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Propantheline bromide (Pro-Banthine) competitively antagonizes acetylcholine activity mediated by muscarinic receptors at neuroeffector sites on smooth muscle and exocrine gland cells. Propantheline Bromide is the bromide salt form of propantheline, a quaternary ammonium compound structurally related to belladonna alkaloids. An aspartic acid residue present in the N-terminal portion of the third transmembrane helix of the muscarinic receptor is believed to form an ionic bond with the tertiary or quaternary nitrogen of the antagonist. Antagonism leads to a reduction of exocrine glands secretions and to relax the bronchial muscle and reduce tone and motility of intestinal smooth muscle.

Methantheline Bromide is a synthetic spasmolytic used to relieve cramps or spasms of the stomach, bowel, and bladder. It is also useful for intestinal or gastric ulcers (peptic ulcer disease), intestinal problems, pancreatitis, gastritis, biliary dysmotil

Propantheline is an orally active antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), commonly employed to investigate smooth muscle dysfunction, hyperhidrosis, smooth muscle spasms or cramps in the stomach, intestines, or bladder, as well as involuntary urination [1] [2] [3].

Pipoxolan (free base) is an antispasmodic drug. In vivo, the drug inhibited the contractions of intestines caused by neostigmine, barium chloride or injection of acetylcholine. The drug possesses ganglioplegic action and inhibited the decrease in blood pressure caused by stimulation of the vagus nerve. The drug is marketed under tradename Rowapraxin worldwide for the treatment of spasms and colics in the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder and urogenital area, bronchial spasms, spastic menstrual cramps. Recent studies have shown that pipoxalan has anticancer activity and inhibits proliferation of leukemia cells in animal models.
