We have utilized the LKB Ultrofilm method of autoradiography to anatomically localize putative M1 and M2 muscarinic receptor subtypes in human stellate ganglia. Ten micron sections were labeled in vitro with either 1 nM of the classical antagonist [3H](-)quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H](-)QNB) or 20 nM of the non-classical antagonist [3H]pirenzepine ([3H]PZ), using 1 microM atropine sulfate to define non-specific binding for both ligands. Our results indicate that [3H](-)QNB and [3H]PZ binding sites are distributed within the principal ganglion cells and nerve bundles.

D010890 Pirenzepine An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.

D011812 Quinuclidines A class of organic compounds which contain two rings that share a pair of bridgehead carbon atoms and contains an amine group. Quinuclidine
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.
