Comment: Sofpironium is an anticholinergic drug. It is a structural analogue of glycopyrrolate which was modified to be rapidly converted to an inactive metabolite in the circulation so as to restrict action to local sites of administration (i.e. it is a so-called retrometabolic or "soft" drug) and minimise potential systemic side-effects. In relation to its use to reduce sweating in axillary hyperhidrosis its effect is mediated by antagonism of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in eccrine glands.
