Stereochemical requirements for central and peripheral muscarinic and antimuscarinic activity of some acetylenic compounds related to oxotremorine. 1982

R Dahlbom, and D J Jenden, and B Resul, and B Ringdahl

1 The enantiomers of some analogues of the central muscarinic agent, oxotremorine, were prepared and investigated for tremorogenic and tremorolytic activity in intact mice and for muscarinic and antimuscarinic activity on the isolated ileum of the guinea-pig. 2 The R-isomers were more potent than the S-isomers both in vivo and in vitro regardless of whether the compounds are agonists, partial agonists or competitive antagonists. 3 It is suggested that in the oxotremorine series, agonists and antagonists interact with a common receptor site, in contrast to classical muscarinic antagonists which are believed to bind also to accessory receptor areas, located close to the agonist binding site.

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.

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.
