Also known as (+-)-cyclopentolate, beta-(dimethylamino)ethyl (1-hydroxycyclopentyl)phenylacetate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl 2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)-2-phenylacetate, alpha-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)benzeneacetic acid 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl ester, 1-hydroxy-alpha-phenylcyclopentaneacetic acid 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl ester, 2-phenyl-2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)ethanoic acid beta-(dimethylamino)ethyl ester, beta-dimethylaminoethyl (1-hydroxycyclopentyl)phenylacetate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl 1-hydroxy-alpha-phenylcyclopentaneacetate

Cyclopentolate is a muscarinic antagonist. It is commonly used as an eye drop during pediatric eye examinations to dilate the eye (mydriatic) and prevent the eye from focusing/accommodating (cycloplegic). Cyclopentolate or atropine can also be administered to reverse muscarinic and central nervous system effects of indirect cholinomimetic (anti-AChase) administration.
