Ligand binding studies with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor on the fiber optic biosensor indicate K (sub i) values for antagonists were similar to those obtained in membrane binding assays. The agonists appear much less potent. This may be due to the ina...

Previous studies suggest that m2 muscarinic receptors serve as presynaptic autoreceptors. Blocking these receptors by selective antagonist may, therefore, lead to increased acetylcholine (ACh) release. This study assessed changes in extracellular ACh leve...

Modern views on the structure of cholinesterase active sites and the mechanism of their interaction with organophosphorus inhibitors are considered. The attention is focused on the mechanism of the effect of cholinergic receptor blockers, acetylcholine antagonists, on the rate of interaction of acetylcholine ...

Methyllycaconitine (MLA) is a norditerpenoid alkaloid found in Delphinium spp., and is a potent and selective antagonist of a7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Plants with high concentrations of MLA are responsible for many livestock poisonings in the Intermountain West of the United States of Am...

The level of binding of a labeled acetylcholine muscarinic antagonist (quinuclidinyl benzilate) to different cerebral membranes has been measured. Of the regions examined, circadian rhythmicity of binding could only be detected significantly in the hippocampus and the hypothalamus and not in the cerebral cortex, striatum, or cerebellum.

Dihydroisohistrionicotoxin inhibits acetylcholine receptor-dependent 22Na+ uptake of cultured chick muscle cells with a KI of 0.2 micrometer. The inhibition is noncompetitive with respect to agonists. The toxin enhances desensitization of the receptor by agonists which is accompanied by a 10-fold increase in ...

We investigated the interaction between ambient histamine and acetylcholine by studying ? oscillations in rat hippocampus, induced by bath application of acetylcholine (10 �M combined with 2 �M physostigmine). The power of ? was significantly increased by the H1 antagonist, fexofenadine, and H2 receptor ...
