Four isomers of [(4-fluoro-5-methyl-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl]trimethylammonium iodide (4-deoxy-4-fluoro-muscarines) were prepared in enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure form from (S)-(-)-methyl 4-methylphenyl sulfoxide, ethyl fluoroacetate, and allyl bromide. Their absolute configurations were assigned by 1H NMR analyses. The four optically pure compounds were tested in vitro on guinea pig and their muscarinic potency was evaluated at M3 (ileum and bladder) and M2 (heart) muscarinic receptor subtypes. Compound 1a, the most potent isomer of the series, was also tested in vivo on pithed rat and its muscarinic activity at the M1 receptor subtype was compared with that of muscarine. Moreover, affinity and relative efficacy were calculated in vitro for this compound at M2 (heart force and rate) and M3 (ileum and bladder) receptors in order to investigate muscarinic receptor heterogeneity. The 4-deoxy-4-fluoromuscarines display a similar trend of potency as the corresponding muscarines and compound 1a shows differences in the affinity constants among the studied tissues. Replacement of a hydroxyl group for a fluorine atom in the 4 position of muscarine produces 1 order of magnitude increase in affinity for cardiac M2 muscarinic receptors controlling rate, while the affinity at cardiac M2 muscarinic receptors controlling force is unchanged, opening the possibility of a further classification of cardiac muscarinic receptors.

D009116 Muscarine A toxic alkaloid found in Amanita muscaria (fly fungus) and other fungi of the Inocybe species. It is the first parasympathomimetic substance ever studied and causes profound parasympathetic activation that may end in convulsions and death. The specific antidote is atropine.
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D010277 Parasympathomimetics Drugs that mimic the effects of parasympathetic nervous system activity. Included here are drugs that directly stimulate muscarinic receptors and drugs that potentiate cholinergic activity, usually by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine (CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS). Drugs that stimulate both sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons (GANGLIONIC STIMULANTS) are not included here.

D011976 Receptors, Muscarinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE. There are several subtypes (usually M1, M2, M3....) that are characterized by their cellular actions, pharmacology, and molecular biology.
