The role of muscarinic receptor subtype(s) in the control of gastric phase III contractions and motilin release was determined in dogs. Pirenzepine (226 nmol/kg/h) shortened the phase III cycle, causing an early increase in plasma motilin concentrations. Both AF-DX116BS and 4-DAMP inhibited the occurrence of spontaneous and motilin-induced phase III contractions, and 4-DAMP also inhibited the spontaneous increase in plasma motilin concentration. Only 4-DAMP inhibited carbachol-induced motilin release in perifused duodenal mucosal cells. In conclusion, M1 receptors are involved in the indirect inhibition of motilin release. Motilin-induced contractions are mediated mainly by M3 receptors and partly by M2 receptors, and M3 receptors are present in motilin-producing cells.

D007413	Intestinal Mucosa	Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.

D009037	Motilin	A peptide of about 22-amino acids isolated from the DUODENUM. At low pH it inhibits gastric motor activity, whereas at high pH it has a stimulating effect.
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.
