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.
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.
1 Tbc affinities of the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of hexahydro-difenidol (1) and its acetylenie analogues hexbutinol (2), hexbutinol methiodide (3) and p-fluoro-hexbutinol (4) (stereochemieal purity > 99.8%) for musearlnie receptors in rabbit vas deferens (M1), guinea-pig atria (M2) and guinea-pig ileum (M3) were measured by dose-ratio experiments. 2 The (R)-enantiomers consistently showed higher aßinities than the (S)-isomers. The stereosclectivity ratios [(R)/(S)] wcrc greatest with thc enantiomers of 1 (vas deferens: 550; ilcum: 191; atria: 17) and least with thosc ofthc p-Fluoro-analogue 4 (vas defercns: 34; ileum: 8.5; atria: 1.7). 3 The enantiomerie potency ratios for compounds 1-4 were highest in rabbit vas deferens, intermediate in guinea-pig ileum and much less in guinea-pig atria. Thus, these ratios may serve as a predietor of muscarinic receptor subtype identity. 4 (S)-p-Fluoro-hexbutinol [(S)-4] showed a novel receptor selectivity profile with preference for M\(_3\) receptors: M\(_3\) > M\(_2\) \(\geq\) M\(_1\)• 5 These results do not conform to Pfeiffer's rule that aetivity differences between enantiomers are greater with more potent compounds.
