Sofpironium bromide (trade name Ecclock; development code BBI-4000) is a drug used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). It was approved in Japan in 2020 as a 5% gel for the treament of primary axillary hyperhidrosis (PAH).^[1]^[2]

Sofpironium bromide is an anticholinergic agent that reduces sweating by inhibiting M₃ muscarinic receptors in eccrine glands.^[3] It is a retrometabolically-designed drug (or "soft drug") based on glycopyrronium bromide,^[4]^[5] meaning it has been designed to exert the desired effects at the site of administration, after which it is quickly converted into an inactive non-toxic metabolite upon entering systemic circulation avoiding the typical anticholinergic side-effects caused by off-site action.^[3]
