The specific mRNAs of the five acetylcholine muscarinic receptor subtypes were detected by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method, demonstrating the definite expression of muscarinic receptor subtype genes (CHO-hml-5R). The affinity and saturability of different muscarinic receptor subtypes to [^3H] N-methylscopolamine ([^3H]-NMS) were obtained by radioligand binding assay. Equilibrium binding assay revealed that the maximum binding capacity of [^3H]-NMS (Bmax value) to CHO-hml-5R were 40.22±3.23, 24.53±4.11, 29.65±2.65, 25.41±2.46, 32.78±4.81 pmol/mg·protein, respectively. Kd values of [^3H]-NMS to muscarinic receptors M1 to M5 were 0.97±0.22, 1.16±0.14, 0.99±0.06, 0.56±0.08, 1.12±0.06 nM, respectively. R-(-)-DM- phencynonate hydrochloride was found to block the M4 receptor with a much higher potency (pD2 = 7.48) than those displayed on M1 (pD2 = 6.20), M2 (pD2 = 5.99), M3 (pD2 = 5.99) and M5 (pD2 = 6.70) subtypes. However, for (±)-DM-phencynonate hydrochloride, no significant subtype receptor selectivity was found. Both (±)-DM- and R-(-)-DM-phencynonate hydrochloride showed allosteric effects on muscarinic receptors, the Hill coefficient (nH) of five receptor subtypes was less than 1, respectively. The results revealed that R-(-)-DM-phencynonate hydrochloride showed selectivity torwards M4 subtype, and there were allosteric effects for both R-(-)-DM-phencynonate hydrochloride and (±)-DM-phencynonate hydrochloride on muscarinic receptors.展开更多
