چکیده

The analgesic effects of a series of muscarinic agonists were investigated by use of the mouse acetic acid writhing, grid-shock, hot-plate and tail-flick tests. The compounds tested were oxotremorine, pilocarpine, arecoline, aceclidine, RS86 and four 3-3(substituted-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahy-dro-1 -methyl pyridines (substituted TZTP), these being propoxy-TZTP, 3-Cl-propylthio-TZTP, xanomeline (hexyloxy-TZTP) and hexylthio-TZTP. These agonists were also assayed for their ability to displace [3H]oxotremorine-M and [3H]pirenz-epine binding and for their functional selectivity at pharmaco-logic M1, M2 and M3 receptors. These compounds all produced dose-dependent antinociceptive effects in all of the mouse analgesia tests. The effects of oxotremorine in the writhing test were fully antagonized by the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine (0.1 mg/kg), but only partially antagonized by methsco-polamine (10 mg/kg) and unaffected by the opioid antagonist naltrexone. 3-Cl-propylthio-TZTP and propoxy-TZTP had virtually no effect at the M1 receptor subtype as measured by the human m1 clone expressed in baby hamster kidney cells or the rabbit vas deferens assay. These compounds, however, were more potent in the analgesia tests than the selective M1 agonists xanomeline and hexylthio-TZTP. These data suggest that muscarinic analgesia is mediated by central muscarinic receptors. However, activity at the M1 receptor subtype is not a requirement for antinociceptive activity.

The spinal antinociceptive effects of cholinergic drugs in rats: receptor subtype specificity in different nociceptive tests

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that muscarinic cholinergic agonists cause antinociception in humans and animals when given by both spinal and non-spinal parenteral routes. It is uncertain which subtype of muscarinic receptor is involved in spinally mediated antinociceptive effects caused by these drugs. The cholinergic receptor agonists McN-A-343 (M1 selective; 3.89 to 389 nmol) and carb...

A Study on the Effect of Intracuneiformis Nucleus Microinjection of GABAA Receptor Agonist and Antagonist on Antinociceptive Effects of Morphine by Formalin Test in Rat

In the present study, the effects of intracuneiformis nucleus microinjection of gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor agonist and antagonist on antinociception inducced by morphine were investigated with formalin test in rat. Intracuneiformis nucleus microinjection of morphine (10µgr/rat) and Bicuculline (50, 100 ng/rat) induced antinociception in the both first and second phases of formali...

Additive interaction of intrathecal ginsenosides and neostigmine in the rat formalin test

BACKGROUND The authors evaluated the effect of intrathecal mixture of ginsenosides with neostigmine on formalin-induced nociception and made further clear the role of the spinal muscarinic (M) receptors on the activity of ginsenosides. METHODS A catheter was located in the intrathecal space of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Pain was evoked by injection of formalin solution (5%, 50 µl) to the hindp...

N-desmethylclozapine, an allosteric agonist at muscarinic 1 receptor, potentiates N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activity.

The molecular and neuronal substrates conferring on clozapine its unique and superior efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia remain elusive. The interaction of clozapine with many G protein-coupled receptors is well documented but less is known about its biologically active metabolite, N-desmethylclozapine. Recent clinical and preclinical evidences of the antipsychotic activity of the musca...

Muscarinic m1 receptor-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in Chinese hamster ovary cells is mediated by Gs alpha and is not a consequence of phosphoinositidase C activation.

The mechanism underlying muscarinic m1 receptor-mediated increases in adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing human recombinant m1 muscarinic receptors (CHO-ml cells). Stimulation of CHO-ml cells with carbachol resulted in marked accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and cAMP, in an atropine-sensitive manner, with EC50 values (log M) o...
