Receptor binding profiles of some selective muscarinic antagonists.

The binding of hexahydrosiladifenidol, procyclidine, 4-DAMP (4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine) and AF-DX 116 to muscarinic receptors in the heart, ileum, urinary bladder, parotid gland and cerebral cortex from guinea pig was studied in competition experiments with (-)-[3H]QNB. The affinity of AF-DX 116 was higher in the heart than in the cortex and it was extremely low in the parotid gland. The affinities of hexahydrosiladefinidol, procyclidine and 4-DAMP were higher in the cortex and parotid gland than in the heart, bladder and ileum. Hexahydrosiladifenidol and 4-DAMP recognized two classes of muscarinic binding sites in the cortex. However, in contrast to functional data, binding results showed that 4-DAMP hexahydrosiladifenidol and procyclidine did not distinguish between the sites in the smooth muscles and those in the heart. Nevertheless, the present data support the view that the putative M2-receptors are heterogeneous, since the four drugs examined were found to distinguish between the muscarinic binding sites in the parotid gland and those in smooth muscles and heart.[1]
