A newly synthesized drug, SX-284, depressed the twitch response of the ileum from guinea pig to electrical stimulation at 0.1 Hz. SX-284 proved to be almost as active as atropine on electrically stimulated ileum. The responses of guinea pig ileum to nicotine and serotonin were also inhibited by SX-284. However, SX-284 did not influence the release of transmitters from the motor, sympathetic, nonadrenergic inhibitory, noncholinergic excitatory nerves, and responses of various smooth muscles mediated through drug receptors, and at these doses, SX-284 inhibited the release of acetylcholine from the vagus nerve. These facts indicate that SX-284 specifically inhibits the acetylcholine release from the vagus nerve. Furthermore, spontaneous movement of the guinea pig ileum was dose-dependently depressed by SX-284. The potency ratio for SX-284 relative to atropine was 1.7.

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.
D007555	Isoxazoles	Azoles with an OXYGEN and a NITROGEN next to each other at the 1,2 positions, in contrast to OXAZOLES that have nitrogens at the 1,3 positions.	Isoxazole

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.

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.
