Racemate and corresponding enantiomers of muscarinic agonists carrying a 1,3-oxathiolane nucleus were studied on isolated preparations of guinea-pig ileum and atria and of rat urinary bladder. The efficacy of these agonists were determined according to the method of Furchgott and Bursztyn (1967) and enantio-selectivity and tissue-selectivity were investigated. The enantio-selectivities of the most potent compounds studied (expressed as the ratio of potencies or affinities of the enantiomers) vary significantly from tissue to tissue, supporting the view that M2 receptors are not homogeneous. In particular, the data all indicate that the ileal receptors are different to the atrial and bladder ones.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D008297 Male Males
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. Inotropism,Muscular Contraction,Contraction, Muscle,Contraction, Muscular,Contractions, Muscle,Contractions, Muscular,Inotropisms,Muscle Contractions,Muscular Contractions
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

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.

D001743 Urinary Bladder A musculomembranous sac along the URINARY TRACT. URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION.
