In an attempt to assess the structural requirements of hexahydro-sila-difenidol for potency and selectivity, a series of analogues modified in the amino group and the phenyl ring were investigated for their affinity to muscarinic M1- (rabbit vas deferens), Mr (guinea-pig atria) and Mr (guinea-pig ileum) receptors. All compounds were competitive antagonists in the three tissues. Their affinities to the three muscarinic receptor subtypes differed by more than two orders of magnitude and the observed receptor selectivities were not associated with high affinity. The pyrrolidino and hexamethyleneimino analogues, compounds substituted in the phenylring with a methoxy group or a chlorine atom as weil as p-fluoro-hexahydro-difenidol displayed the same affinity profile as the parent compound, hexahydro-sila-difenidol: M1 = M3 > M2 • A different selectivity patternwas observed for p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol: M3 > M1 > M2 • This compound exhibited its highest affinity for M3-receptors in guinea-pig ileum (pA 2 = 7.84), intermediate affinity for M1-receptors in rabbit vas deferens (pA 2 = 6.68) and lowest affinity for the Mrreceptors in guinea-pig atria (pA 2 = 6.01). This receptor selectivity profile of p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol was confirmed in ganglia (M1), atria (M2 ) and ileum (M 3 ) of the rat. Furthermore, dose ratios obtained with either pirenzepine (Mt) or hexahydrosila- difenidol (M2 and M3) and the p-fluoro analogue used in combination suggested that the antagonism was additive, implying mutual competition with a single population of muscarinic receptor subtypes. These results indicate that p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol represents a valuable tool for characterization of muscarinic receptor subtypes.
A variety of muscarinic antagonists are currently used as tools to pharmacologically subclassify muscarinic receptors into M\(_1\), M\(_2\) and M\(_3\) subtypes. ln the present study I we have determined the affinity proflies of several of these antagonists at five cloned human muscarinic receptors (m1-m5) stably expressed in Chinesehamster ovary cells (CHO-K1). At all five receptorsl the (R)-enantiomers of trihexyphenidyl and hexbutinol displayed considerably higher affinities (up to 525-fold) than their corresponding (S)-isomers. The stereoselectivity ratios [inhibition constant( S)/inhibition constant(R)] for both pairs of enantiomers were lowest at m2 receptors, suggesting that less stringent configurational demands are made by this receptor subtype. The "M\(_1\)-selective" antagonist (R)-trihexyphenidyl displayed high affinities for m1 and m4 receptors. The "M\(_2\)-selective" antagonists himbacinel (±}-5, 11-dihydro-11-1[(2-[(dipropylamino)methyl]-1- piperidinyllethyl)amino]carbonyii-6H-pyrido(213-b)(1 ~4)benzodiazepine- 6-one (AF-DX 384)1 11-(14-[4-(diethylamino)butyl)-1-piperidinyll acetyl)-5~ 11-dihydro-6H-pyrido(2~3-b) (1~4)benzodiazepine-6-one (AQ-RA 741) and (+K11-(12-[(diethylamino)methyl]-1-piperidinyll acetyl)-5~ 11-di-hydro-6H-pyrido(2~3-b)(1,4)benzodiazepine-6-one (AF-OX 250; the (+)-enantiomer of AF-DX 116] exhibited high affinities for m2 and m41 intermediate affinities for m1 and m3 and low affinities for m5 receptors. This selectivity profile was most prominent for AQ-RA 7 41 I which displayed 195- and 129-fold higher affinities for m2 and m4 receptors than for mS receptors. The "M\(_3\)-selective" antagonist (±)-p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol hydrochloride (pFHHsiD) exhibited high affinity for m1 I m3 and m4 receptors. 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) bound with up to 7 -fold higher affinities to m1 I m31 m4 and m5 receptors than to m2 receptors. Although none of the tested antagonists showed more than 2-fold selectivity for one subtype over all other subtypes, each receptor displayed a unique antagonist binding profile.
Hexahydro-sila-difenidoJ and eight analogues behaved as simple cumpetitive inhibitors of eHJN·methyl·scopoJamine binding to homogenates frorn human neuroblastoma NB-OK 1 cells (M\(_1\) sites), rat heart (M\(_2\) sites), rat pancreas (M\(_3\) sites), and rat striatum 'B' sites (M\(_4\) sites). Pyrrolidino- and hexamethyleneimino analogues showed the same sekctivity profile as the parent compound. Hexahydro-sila-difenidol methiodide and the methiodide of p-fluoro-hexahydro·sila-difenidol had a fügher affinity but a lower selectivity than the tertiary amines. Compounds containing a p·methoxy, p-chJoro or p-fluoro substituent in the phenyl ring of hexahydro-sila-difenidol showed a qualitative)y similar selectivity profile as the parent compound (i.e., M\(_1\)= M\(_3\) = M\(_4\) >M\(_2\) ), but up to 16-fold lower affinities. o-Methoxy-hexahydro-sila-difenidol has a lower affinity than hexahydro-sila-difeni.:!o! at the four binding sites. lts selectivity profile (M\(_4\) > M\(_1\), M\(_3\) > M\(_2\) ) was different from hexahydro-sila-difenidol. Replacement of the centrat silicon atom of hexahydro-sila-difenidol, p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol and thdr quatemary (N-methylated) analogues by a carbon atom did not change their binding affinities significantly. The iour muscarinic receptors showed a higher affinity for the (R)- than for the (S)-enantiomers of hexahydro-difenidol, p-fluorohexahydro-difenidol and their methiodides. The stereoselectivity varied depending on the receptor subtype and drug considered.
l In an attempt to assess the structural requirements for the musearlnie receptor selectivity of hexahydro-diphenidol (hexahydro-difenidol) and hexahydro-sila-diphenidol (hexahydro-sila-difenidol), a serles of structurally related C/Si pairs were investigated, along with atropine, pirenzepine and methoctramine, for their binding affinities in NB-OK 1 cells as well as in rat heart and pancreas. 2 The action of these antagonists at musearlnie receptors mediating negative inotropic responses in guinea-pig atrla and ileal contractions has also been assessed. 3 Antagonist binding data indicated that NB-OK 1 cells (M\(_1\) type) as weil as rat heart (cardiac type) and pancreas (glandularjsmooth muscle type) possess different muscarinic receptor subtypes. 4 A highly significant correlation was found between the binding affinities of the antagonists to muscarinic receptors in rat heart and pancreas, respectively, and the affinities to muscarinic receptors in guinea-pig atria and ileum. This implies that the musearlnie binding sites in rat heart and the receptors in guinea-pig atrla are essentially similar, but different from those in pancreas and ileum. 5 The antimuscarinic potency of hexahydro-diphenidol and hexahydro-sila-diphenidol at the three subtypes was inftuenced differently by structural modifications (e.g. quaternization). Different selectivity profiles for the antagonists were obtained, which makes these compounds useful tools to investigate further muscarinic receptor heterogeneity. lndeed, the tertiary analogues hexahydrodiphenidol (HHD) and hexahydro-sila-diphenidol (HHSiD) bad an M\(_1\) = glandularjsmooth muscle > cardiac selectivity profile, whereas the quaternary analogues HHD methiodide and HHSiD methiodide were M\(_1\) preferring (M\(_1\) > glandularjsmooth muscle, cardiac).
1 We have compared the binding properties of several hexocyclium and sila-hexocyclium derivatives to muscarinic Ml receptors (in rat brain, human neuroblastoma (NB-OK I) cells and calf superior cervical ganglia), rat heart M2 receptors, rat pancreas M3 receptors and M4 receptors in rat striatum, with their functional antimuscarinic properties in rabbit vas deferens (Ml/M4-like), guinea-pig atria (M2), and guinea-pig ileum (M3) muscarinic receptors.
2 Si la-substitution (C/Si exchange) of hexocyclium (~ sila-hexocyclium) and demethyl-hexocyclium (~demethyl-sila-hexocyclium) did not significantly affect their affinities for muscarinic receptors. By contrast, sila-substitution of demethoxy-hexocyclium increased its affinity 2 to 3 fold for all the muscarinic receptor subtypes studied.
3 The p-fluoro- and p-chloro-derivatives of sila-hexocyclium had lower affinities than the parent
compound at the four receptor subtypes, in binding and pharmacological studies.
4 In binding studies, o-methoxy-sila-hexocyclium (Ml = M4 ~ M3 ~ M2) had a much lower affinity than sila-hexocyclium for the four receptor subtypes, and discriminated the receptor subtypes more poorly than sila-hexocyclium (Ml = M3> M4> M2)' This is in marked contrast with the very clear selectivity of demethoxy-sila-hexocyclium for the prejunctional MtlM4-like heteroreceptors in rabbit vas deferens.
5 The tertiary amines demethyl-hexocyclium, demethyl-sila-hexocyclium and demethyl-o-methoxy-silahexocyclium had 10 to 30 fold lower affinities than the corresponding quaternary ammonium derivatives.
Muscarinic receptors of rcsistance vessels (submucosal artcrioles, outside diametcr 50-75 J,Lm) from the guinea-pig small intestinc were invcstigatcd in vitro using a computcr-assisted vidcomicroscopy system (Diamtrak <~t ). The muscarinic receptor which mediates vasodilation of prccontractcd [U-46619 (300 nM) or (- )-noradrcnaline (1 0 J.L M)] artcriolcs was characterized with scveral muscarinic agonists and subtypc-sclectivc antagonists. Thc following agonists all produccd cquivalent maximum vasodilation (given in rank ordcr of potency): acctylcholinc = arccaidinc propargyl cstcr (APE) > oxotremorine = ( ± )-muscarinc = ( ± )-mcthacholinc > carbachol > 4-[[N-{4-chlorophenyl)carbamoyl]oxy]-2-hutynyltrimcthylammonium iodide (4-CI-McN-A- 343). 4-([N-(3-ChlorophcnyD-carbamoyl)oxy]-2-butynyltrimcthylammonium chloride (McN-A-343) and N-ethyl-guvacinc propargyl ester (NEN-APE) produccd minimal or no artcriolar vasodilation. Thc muscarinic antagonists pircnzcpinc, ( ± )-5,11-dihydro-11- [[[2-[2-((dipropylamino)methyl}-1-pipcridinyl]ethyl]amino ]-carbonyi]-6H-pyrido(2,3-h)( 1 ,4)-benzodiazcpin-6-onc (AF-DX 384 ), 11- [[ 4-[4-(dicthylamino)butyl]-1-piperidinyl]acetyl]-5, ll-dihydro-6H-pyrido(2.3-h)( 1,4 )-bcnzodiazepin-6-onc (AQ-RA 741 ), p-fluorohexahydro- sila-difcnidol (p-F-HHSiD), 4-diphcnylacetoxy-N-methylpipcridine mcthiodidc (4-DAMP) and (R)- and (S)hexahydro- difcnidol [(R)-HHD, (S)-HHD] shifted thc muscarinc, mcthacholinc or carbachol dosc-rcsponsc curve to the right in a compctitive manner. Schildanalysis of the data yicldcd pA\(_2\) valucs for pircnzcpinc (6.74/6.9), AF-DX 384 (6.72), AQ-RA 741 (6.58), p-F-HHSiD (7.53/7.57), 4-DAMP (9.06), (R)-HHD (7.88/8.32) and (S)-HHD (5.52/5.88). Thus, it can he concluded that submucosal arteriolcs posscss only the M\(_3\) functional muscarinic reccptor, the activation of which causcs hlood vcsscl dilation. The preparation dcscribcd is considcrcd to be a valuable now bioassay for pharmacological investigations of drug actions at muscarinic receptors in the peripheral vascular system.
The muscarinic receptor mediating vasodilation of resistance vessels in the rat isolated, constant-pressure perfused kidney (preconstriction by w- 7 M cirazoline) was characterized by subtype-preferring agonists and se]ective antagonists. The agonists produced vasodi1ation with the fol1owing rank order of potency: arecaidine propargy] ester (APE) > 5-methylfurtrethonium = methacholine = oxotremorine > (S)-aceclidine > arecaidine 2-butyne-1,4-diyl bisester > 4-Cl-McN-A-343 = (R)-nipecotic acid ethyl ester = N-ethyl-guvacine propargyl ester- (R)-aceclidine = (S)-nipecotic acid ethyl ester > McN-A-343. Agonist-induced vasodilation disappeared after destruction of the endothelium with detergent. Highly significant correlations of agonist potencies for vasodilation were found between rat kidney and guinea-pig ileum submucosal arterioles as weH as agonist potencies at smooth muscle muscarinic M\(_3\) receptors of the guinea-pig ileum. The rank order of antagonist potencies (4-diphenylacetoxy-Nmethylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) > (R)-hexahydro-difenidol - hexahydro-sila-difenidol > pirenzepine - p-fluorohexahydro- sila-difenidol- himbacine- AF-DX 384- AQ-RA 741 > (S)-hexahydro-difenidol) to attenuate vasodilation to APE in rat kidney, correlated significantly with affinities at M\(_3\) receptors in submucosal arterioles and in smooth muscle of the guinea-pig ileum, but differed from those at M\(_1\) and M\(_2\) receptors in rabbit vas deferens. The agonist and antagonist potencies suggest that vasodilation elicited by muscarinic stimuli in endothelium-intact rat renal vasculature is mediated by functional muscarinic M\(_3\) receptors.
The crystal structures of the (R)-enantiomer (2b) and the racemate (1 b) of (cyclohexyl)phenyl[2- (pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]silanol (sila--procyclidine) have been determined by X -ray structural analysis. The absolute configuration of (2b) was established. (2b) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2\(_1\)2\(_1\)2\(_1\), with a = 15.221 (1 ), b = 17.967(1 ), c = 6.463(1) A, and Z = 4. (1 b) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2\(_1\)/c, with a = 6.441 (1 ), b = 17.1 82(7), c = 16.707(4) A, ß = 1 03.86(2r, and Z = 4. The structures were refined to respective R factors of 0.044 and 0.058. The molecular conformation of sila-procyclidine is identical in the two different structures. lntermolecular 0-H • • • N hydrogen bonding is observed in both crystallattices.ln (1 b) (R)- and (S)-configurated molecules form centrosymmetric dimers, in (2b) the (R)-configurated molecules are linked into infinite chains parallel to the c axis. The (R)-configurated sila--procyclidine (2b) has higher affinity for ileal and atrial muscarinic receptors of the guinea pig than the (S)-configurated enantiomer (3b).
Four different syntheses of the potent and selective muscanruc antagonist cyclohexyl( 4- fluorophenyl)(3-piperidinopropyl)silanol ( p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol, p-F-HHSiD (2b); isolated as hydrochloride 2b· HCl) are described (starting materials: (CH\(_3\)O)\(_2\)SiCH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)Cl and Si(OCH\(_3\))\(_4\) ). In addition, the synthesis of the corresponding carbon analogue p-fluoro-hexahydro-difenidol ( p-F-HHD (2a); isolated as 2a· HCI) and the syntheses of three p-F-HHSiD derivatives (3-5), with a modified cyclic amino group, are reported (3: piperidinojpyrrolidino exchange, isolated as 3· HCI; 4: piperidinoj hexamethylenimino exchange, isolated as 4 · HCl; 5: quaternization of 2b with methyl iodide). The chiral compounds 2a, 2b, 3, 4 and 5 were prepared as racemates. In functional pharmacological studies, 3-5 behaved as simple competitive antagonists at musearlnie Ml receptors in rabbit vas deferens, M2 receptors in guinea-pig atria, and M3 receptors in guinea-pig ileal smooth rnuscle. The pyrrolidino (3) and hexamethylenimino (4) analogues of the parent drug p-F-HHSiD (2b) displayed the highest affinity for Ml and M3 receptors (pA\(_2\) values: 7.0-7.4) but exhibited lower affinity for cardiac M2 receptors (pA\(_2\) : 5.9 and 6.0). Their affinity profile (Ml- M3 > M2) is different from that of p-F-HHSiD (2b) (M3 > Ml > M2), but qualitatively very similar tothat of p-F-HHD (2a). The methiodide 5 exhibited the highest affinity for Ml receptors (pA\(_2\) : 8.5) but lower affinity for M2 and M3 receptors by factors of 5.6 and 3.6, respectively.
The enantiomers of the antimuscarinic agent 1-cyclohexyl-1- (4-fluorophenyl)-4-piperidino-1-butanol [(R)- and (S)-p-fluorohexahydro- difenidol] ((R)- and (S)-2a] and their methiodides (R)- 3 and (S)-3 were prepared with high enantiomeric purity. (R)- 2a and (S)-2a (isolated as hydrochlorides) were obtained by catalytic hydrogenation (Pd/C contact) of the corresponding enantiomers of 1-cyclohexyl-1-( 4-fl uorophen yl)-4-piperidino- 2-butyn-1-ol [(R)- and (S)-4]. Reaction of (R)-2a and (S)-2a with rnethyl iodide led to (R)-3 and (S)-3, respectively. The unsaturated precursors (R)- and (S}-4 (enantiorneric purity ~ 99.80 and ~99.94% e.e.; calorimetric analysis) were prepared by res-sepaolution of rac-4 [available from 4-FC\(_6\)H\(_4\)C(O)C\(_6\)H\(_{11}\) by reaction with LiC ~ CCH\(_2\)NC\(_5\)H\(_{10}\)] using (R)- and (S)-mandelic acid as resolving agents. The absolute configurations of the (R) and (S) enantiomers of 2a, 3, and 4 were determined by an X-ray crystal-structure analysis of (S)-5, the methiodide of (S)-4. (R)- 2a and (R)-3 exhibit a higher affinity for muscarinic M1, M2, M3, and M4 receptors (by up to two orders of magnitude) than their corresponding antipodes (S)-2a and (S)-3, the degree of stereoselectivity depending on the receptor subtype involved. (R)-2a represents a useful tool for rnuscarinic receptor research (affinity profile: M1 ~ M3 ~ M4 > M2).
Five subtypes of muscarinic receptors have been distinguished by pharmacological and molecular biological methods. This report characterizes the muscarinic subtype present in human gastric mucosa by radioligand binding studies. The receptor density was 27 ± 6 fmol/mg protein and the tritiated ligand N-methylscopolamine had an affinity of (Kn) 0.39 ± 0.08 nM (n = 11). The M1 receptor selective antagonist pirenzepine and the M2 receptor selective ligand AF-DX 116 had low affinities of 148 ± 32 nM (n = 13) and 4043 ± 1011 nM (n = 3) K n , respectively. The glandular M3 antagonists hexahydrosiladifenidol and silahexocyclium had high affinities ofKn 78 ± 23 nM (n = 5) and 5.6 ± 1.8 nM (n = 3). The agonist carbachol interacted with a single low-affinity site and binding was insensitive to modulation by guanine nucleotides. Antagonist and agonist binding studies thus showed an affinity profile typical of M3 receptors of the glandular type.
Five different musearlnie receptor subtypes ean be distinguished by the differenees in their amino aeid sequence, the eoupled signal transduetion system, pharmaeologieal binding properties and aetivation of ionie fluxes. The present study served to eharaeterize the binding profile of musearlnie receptors in human eolon eareinoma eells (HT-29) using seleetive musearlnie antagonists. The affinities of the compounds were eompared with their poteney to inhibit cholinergieally-aetivated phosphoinositide metabolism. Pirenzepine displaced [\(^3\)H]N-methyl-scopolamine binding and inhibited inositolphosphate (IP) release with potencies typieal of those of non-M\(_1\) receptors. The M\(_3\) subtype-selective antagonists sila-hexocyelium and hexahydro-sila-difenidol bad high affinity to the musearlnie reeeptors in HT-29 cells (K0 = 3.1 nM and 27 nM, respectively) and inhibited IP release at nanomolar concentrations. The M\(_2\) receptor antagonists, AF-DX 116 and methoctramine, had low antimusearinic poteneies. Our results demonstrate that HT-29 human colon earcinoma cells contain an apparently pure population of M\(_3\) receptors. These cells could serve as a model system for further investigations coneerning regulatory and signal transduction mechanisms associated with glandular muscarinic M\(_3\) receptors.
Cholinergie agents arepotent modulators of insulin release that aet via musearinie reeeptors. We now investigated the muscarinic receptor subtype present in rat panereatic islets in binding and funetional studies. Binding of 5 nM [ \(^3\)H]N-methylscopolamine ([\(^3\)H]NMS) was half maximal at 30 min. At 60 min, the maximal total bindingwas 1.29% and the non-specifie binding (presence of 100 ,uM atropine) was 0.18% of the total radioaetivity per 10 f.'g islet protein. Unlabelled atropine inhibited [\(^3\)H]NMS binding with an IC50 of ca. 30 nM. The rank order of antagonist high-affinity binding was atropine > sila-hexocyelium methyl sulfate (SiHC; M\(_1\) > M\(_3\) > M\(_2\) ) > pirenzepine (M\(_1\)> M\(_2\) = M\(_3\) ) = methoctramine (M\(_2\) > M\(_1\) > M\(_3\) ). The high-affinity K\(_d\)s were 8.5, 56, 1300 and 1300 nM, respectively. The high affinity Kd of the muscarinie receptor agonist, arecaidine propargyl ester (APE), was 8.1 nM. The EC\(_{50}\) for the biologieal effects of APE on insulin and glucagon secretion was 3.2 and 2.3 nM. The rank order for the high-affinity biological effects of antagonists (inhibition of APE-mediated insulin/ glucagon release) was almost the same as for binding. The data indicate that rat pancreatie islets contain neither an M\(_1\) subtype (high-affinity for pirenzepine) nor an M\(_2\) subtype (high-affinity for methoctramine) receptor. However, the data evidence an M\(_3\) receptor subtype, since SiHC in the absence of the M\(_1\) receptor subtype shows a relatively high affinity to the receptors in rat panereatic islets.
Muscarinic receptors mediating acid secretion in isolated rat gastric parietal cells are of M3 type
(1990)
Five subtypes of muscarinic receptors have been identified by pharmacological and molecular biological methods. The muscarinic receptor subtype mediating acid secretion at the level of the parietal cell was unknown. Therefore, this study was performed to characterize muscarinic receptors on rat gastric parietal cells using the 3 subtype-selective antagonists hexahydrosiladifenidol and silahexocyclium, which have high affinity for glandular M3 subtypes, and AF-DX 116, which has high affinity to cardiac M2 receptors. The affinity of these antagonists was determined by radioligand binding experiments. In addition, their inhibitory potency on carbachol-stimulated inositol phosphate production was investigated. Inhibition of carbachol-stimulated aminopyrine uptake was used as an indirect measure of proton production. Both M3 antagonists, hexahydrosiladifenidol and silahexocyclium, had nanomolar affinities for parietal cell muscarinic receptors and potently antagonized inositol phosphate production with nanomolar Ki values. Silahexocyclium similarly antagonized aminopyrine accumulation while hexahydrosiladifenidol behaved as a noncompetitive antagonist. AF-DX 116 was a low-affinity ligand and a weak competitive antagonist at parietal-cell muscarinic receptors. It was concluded that muscarinic M3 receptors mediate acid secretion probably by activation of the phosphoinositide second messenger system in rat gastric parietal cells.
Novel pharmacological profile of muscarinic receptors mediating contraction of the guinea-pig uterus
(1990)
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.
Pharmacokinetic properties of the antimuscarinic drug [\(^3\)H]-hexahydro-sila-difenidol in the rat
(1990)
The pharmacokinetics of tritiated hexahydrosila- difenidol ([\(^3\)H]-HHSiD) were examined in rats. Furthermore, the distribution of radioactivity was studied by means of whole body autoradiography. After i. v. administration of 2.9 mg/kg HHSiD plus [\(^3\)H]-HHSiD to anaesthetized rats bearing a catheter implanted in the ductus choledochus and receiving a mannitol infusion, HHSiD was rapidly distributed and metabolized. Only 5% ofthe radioactivity was recovered in blood after 23 s and 0.4% after 2.5 h. 64% of the plasma radioactivity could be extracted with hexane from the samples taken 23 s after administration. 52% of the radioactivity was eliminated within 2.5 h, 13% by urinary and 39% by biliary excretion. Following oral administration of 8.6 mg/kg HHSiD plus [\(^3\)H]-HHSiD there was an absorption of approximately one fourth of the administered radioactivity within 4 h. By means of whole body autoradiography (i. v. injection) as well as by tissue distribution measurement the highest Ievels of radioactivity were found in bile, urine, lung, kidney, adrenals, liver and .pancreas. Thus, after i. v. administration to rats HHSiD is rather quickly distributed, metabolized and excreted. This explains its low antimuscarinic potency in vivo.
The present study was designed to further charaeterize the presynaptie musearlnie M\(_1\)-reeeptor responsible for the inhibition of neuragenie eontraetions in the isolated rabbit vas deferens. Eleetrically induced twiteh eontraetions of this preparation were inhibited by the M\(_1\)-agonist, MeN-A-343, and by some of its analogs: 4-ehloro-phenyl derivative> MeN-A-343 > trans-olefinie analog> cis-olefinie analog. The same rank order of potency was observed for these agonists to raise the blood pressure of pithed rats by stimulation of M\(_1\)-receptors in sympathetie ganglia. A highly signifieant eorrelation was found between the antimusearinie potencies of atropine, pirenzepine and a series of 9 antagonists strueturally related to the ganglionie M\(_{1\beta}\)-receptor selective compounds, hexocyclium and hexahydro-difenidol, to antagonize the MeN-A-343-indueed inhibition of twitch eontraetions in rabbit vas deferens or the musearine-indueed depolarization in rat isolated superior eerVieal ganglia. It is suggested that the presynaptie musearlnie receptor that mediates inhibition of neuragenie contraetions in rabbit vas deferens is of the ganglionic M\(_{1\beta}\)-type.
