Five subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (m1-m5) have been expressed in insect cells (Spodoptera frugiperda, Sf9) using the baculovirus system. Up to 6 nmol of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors were produced by 1 liter culture; 0.3 to 0.6 (human m1), 3 to 6 (human m2), 2 to 4 (rat m3), 1 to 2 (rat m4) and 0.5 to 1 (human m5) nmol. Pirenzepine, AF-DX116 and hexahidrosiladifenidol showed the highest affinity for the m1, m2 and m3 subtype, respectively, indicating that these receptors expressed in Sf9 cells retain the same substrate specificity as those in mammalian tissues or cultured cells. Among 32 kinds of muscarinic ligands examined in the present studies, prifinium was found to have the highest affinity for the m4 subtype, and pilocarpine, oxotremorine, McN-A343 and promethazine the highest affinity for the m5 subtype, although the differences in the affinities among the five subtypes were less than 10-fold. Alcuronium increased the binding of [3H]N-methylscopalamine to the m2 subtype, but not the m1, m4 and m5 subtypes and only slightly to the m3 subtype. Similar but smaller effects of fangchinoline and tetrandrine were found for [3H]N-methylscopalamine binding to only the m3 subtype. These effects may also be useful for the discrimination of individual subtypes.

Classification of the presynaptic muscarinic receptor subtype that regulates 3H-acetylcholine secretion in the guinea pig urinary bladder in vitro.

The experiments were done to investigate the presence and subtype of functionally presynaptic muscarinic receptors in cholinergic nerves of the guinea pig urinary bladder. Bladder strips were incubated with 3H-choline and superfused with Tyrode's solution containing eserine. Secreted 3H-acetylcholine was separated from 3H-choline. The electrically evoked 3H-acetylcholine secretion increased with the stimulation frequency. 3H-Acetylcholine secretion was enhanced by muscarinic antagonists, was depressed by carbachol and by alpha adrenoceptor agonists but was not influenced by drugs acting at beta adrenoceptors or purinoceptors. The rank order for the enhancing effect of muscarinic antagonist EC50 values was propantheline < atropine < methylatropine < N-desethyloxybutynin < UH-AH 37 < benzhexol < AQ-RA 741 < 4-DAMP < procyclidine < emepronium < secoverine < oxybutynin < tropicamide < promethazine < himbacine < hexahydrosiladifenidol < methoctramine = pirenzepine < dicyclomine < AF-DX 116, and the EC50 values correlated best with constants for the M4/m4 muscarinic receptor subtype. The enhancing effect of atropine was counteracted by carbachol; the effects of atropine and emepronium were not additive. The 3H-acetylcholine secretion was also enhanced by forskolin, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 8-bromo cyclic AMP and dibutyryl cyclic AMP. The combined effects of atropine and forskolin were additive. These results suggest that the 3H-acetylcholine secretion in the guinea pig urinary bladder is regulated by a presynaptic muscarinic autoreceptor of the M4 subtype that is not coupled to adenylate cyclase.

Enantiomeric separation of basic drugs using N-benzyloxycarbonylglyclyl-L-proline as counter ion in methanol.

Direct separation of enantiomeric amines using mainly N-benzyloxycarbonylglycyl-L-proline (L-ZGP) but also N-benzyloxycarbonylglyclglcyl-L-proline (L-ZGGP) as the chiral counter ion in methanol is described. The solid phase was Hypercarb porous graphitic carbon. Several amines of pharmacological interest (e.g., alprenolol, sotalol, terbutaline, promethazine and trimipramine) were separated with high enantioselectivity (alpha = 1.16-1.98) using L-ZGP and L-ZGGP as chiral selectors. In accordance with ion-pair chromatography, the retention of the enantiomeric amines was found to increase with increasing concentration of the anionic form of L-ZGP. Addition of a base (sodium hydroxide or an alkylamine) in excess of L-ZGP gave rise to a decrease in retention and enantioselectivity. The enantioselective retention was also affected by adding 2-propanol or acetonitrile to the mobile phase.
