  abstract  = {The present study was designed to further characterize the muscarinic receptors mediating contraction of the guinea-pig uterus. The affinities of various selective muscarinic antagonists were determined and compared with those obtained at M\(_1\) (rabbit vas deferens), M\(_2\) (guinea-pig atria) and M\(_3\) receptors (guinea-pig ileum). The contractile responses of uterine smooth muscle from immature guinea-pigs to carbachol (pD\(_2\) = 5.73) were competitively antagonized by pirenzepine (pA\(_2\) = 7.04), AF-DX 116 (11-[[2-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyl] acetyl]- 5,11-dihydro-6H -pyrido[2,3-b][1 ,4]benzo. diazepin-6-one) (pA\(_2\) = 6.96), himbacine (pA\(_2\) = 7.92), methoctramine (pA\(_2\) = 7.52), 4-DAMP (4-diphenylacetoxy- N-methylpiperidine methiodide) (pA\(_2\) = 8.87) and sila-hexocyclium (pA\(_2\) = 8.81). A comparison of affinity values indicates that the muscarinic receptors present in guinea-pig uterus display a novel pharmacological profile which is not consistent with the presence of either an M\(_1\), M\(_2\) or M\(_3\) receptor. The affinities determined for the different antagonists rather showed a close similarity to those obtained at muscarinic receptors present in rat striatum and NG108-15 cells which are considered pharmacological equivalents (M\(_4\) receptors) of the m4 gene product. We thus hypothesize that the guinea-pig isolated uterus preparation may serve as a simple functional assay system to study the pharmacology of M\(_4\) receptors.},

  abstract  = {The goals of the present study were: (1) to investigate thc binding properlies oi (R)- and (S)-procyclidine and two aehiral derivatives of muscarinic M\(_1\)• M\(_2\) and M\(_4\) receptor subtypes and (2) to identify the interaetions which allow these receptors to diseriminate between the two stereoisomers. (R)-Procyclidine showed a higher affinity for human neuroblastoma NB-OK 1 muscarinie M\(_1\) and rat striatum musearinie M\(_4\) receptors. a~ compared to rat cardiac M\(_2\) receptors. (S)-Procyclidine had a 130-iold lower affinity than (R)-procyclidine for M\(_1\) and M\(_4\) receptors. and a 40-fold lower affinity for M\(_2\) receptors. Pyrrinol. the aehiral diphenyl derivative with the eyclohexyl g.roup of (S}-procyclidine replaeed by a phenyl group, has an eight-fold lower affinity for M\(_1\) and M\(_4\) receptors. as eompared to (R)-procyclidine, and a three-fold lower affinity for M\(_2\) receptors. Hexahydro-procyclidine. the eorresponding achiral dicyclohexyl compound, had a 10- to 20-fold lower affinity than (R)-procyclidine for the three reeeptors. The inerease in binding free energy, which is observed when the phenyl and eyclohexyl groups of procyelidine are separately replaeed by cyclohexyJ and phenyl groups, respectively. was additive in the ease of M\(_1\)• M\(_2\) and M\(_4\) receptcrs. This indicates that the musearinic reeeptor s!ereoseleetivity was based on the eoexistence of two binding sites, one preferring a phenylrather than eyclohexyl group and the seeond preferring a cyclohexyl rather than a phenyl group. In addition. there were aiso binding sites for the hydroxy moiety and the protonated amino group of the ligands. The greater affinity and stereoselectivity of M\(_1\) and M\(_4\) muscarinic receptors for (R)-procyelidine reflected the better fit of the eyclohexyl group of (R)-procyclidine to the subsite of M\(_1\) and M\(_4\) as compared to M\(_2\) receptors.},
