1. The effects of Ca2+ channel ligands on [3H]QNB binding in m1- or m3-transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have been studied. 2. The IC50 values of Ca2+ channel ligands for the inhibition of [3H]QNB binding were between 10(-6) and 10(-4) M and the rank order of potency was HOE 166 greater than McN 6186 greater than nicardipine greater than tiamdipine greater than verapamil greater than diltiazem greater than Bay K 8644 greater than nifedipine at m1 and m3 receptors. 3. The results indicate that Ca2+ channel ligands employed in this experiment do not distinguish subtypes of muscarinic receptors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D011813 Quinuclidinyl Benzilate A high-affinity muscarinic antagonist commonly used as a tool in animal and tissue studies. Benzilate, Quinuclidinyl
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. Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors,Muscarinic Receptors,Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor,Muscarinic Receptor,Acetylcholine Receptor, Muscarinic,Acetylcholine Receptors, Muscarinic,Receptor, Muscarinic,Receptor, Muscarinic Acetylcholine,Receptors, Muscarinic Acetylcholine
D002120 Calcium Channel Agonists Agents that increase calcium influx into calcium channels of excitable tissues. This causes vasoconstriction in VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE and/or CARDIAC MUSCLE cells as well as stimulation of insulin release from pancreatic islets. Therefore, tissue-selective calcium agonists have the potential to combat cardiac failure and endocrinological disorders. They have been used primarily in experimental studies in cell and tissue culture.
