Abstract
The antagonist binding properties of rat pancreatic and cardiac muscarinic receptors were compared. In both tissues pirenzepine (PZ) had a low affinity for muscarinic receptors labelled by ( 3H)N-methylscopolamine (( 3)NMS) (K D values of 140 and 280 nM, respectively, in pancreatic and cardiac homogenates). The binding properties of pancreatic and cardiac receptors were, however, markedly different. This was indicated by different affinities for dicyclomine, (11-({(2-((diethylamino)-methyl)-l-piperidinyl} acetyl)-5, 11-dihydro-6H-pyrido(2,3-b) (1, 4) benzodiazepin-6-on) (AFDX-116), 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methyl-piperidine methobromide (4-DAMP) and hexahydrosiladifenidol (HHSiD). Pancreatic and cardiac muscarinic receptors also showed different ( 3H)NMS association and dissociation rates. These results support the concept of M2 receptor heterogeneity and confirm that M2 receptor subtypes have different binding kinetic properties.
