Darifenacin, (S)-2-[1-[2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl]-3- pyrrolidinyl]-2,2-diphenylacetamide, is a novel muscarinic M3 antagonist. In this study we have compared the binding of [3H]-darifenacin to the five cloned human muscarinic receptors (m1-m5) expressed in CHO cells. [3H]-darifenacin binds with 6 fold higher affinity to m3 (KD = 0.33 nmol/l) over m1 (KD = 1.6 nmol/l) receptors. There was no specific binding of [3H]-darifenacin to m2 receptors and specific binding to m4 and m5 receptors was insufficient to determine a KD. Binding of [3H]-darifenacin to m1 and m3 was displaced by atropine (m1 pKi = 9.36, m3 pKi = 9.4), 4-DAMP (m1 pKi = 9.04, m3 pKi = 9.19), pirenzepine (m1 pKi = 8.63, m3 pKi = 6.85), methoctramine (m1 pKi = 7.28, m3 pKi = 6.63), and darifenacin (m1 pKi = 8.36, m3 pKi = 9.14), demonstrating that [3H]-darifenacin represents the first selective m3 radioligand.

D010880 Piperidines A family of hexahydropyridines.
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.
