AB  - Pyridylacetylcholine (PACh) is less active than its analogue imidazoleacetylcholine (ImACh) in inhibiting neuromuscular transmission, but is much more active in stimulating autonomic ganglia. PACh is hydrolyzed less rapidly than ImACh by plasma cholinesterase. Neither PACh nor ImACh is hydrolyzed by acetylchohinesterase.
