This assay involved measurement of the probability of adhesion on collision. Since the components of the solution, the orientation, and the relative collision velocity are all under the user&#39;s control, this assay can mimic closely a range of

Here we describe three characteristics of THRX-160209 binding which are consistent with a multivalent interaction: (1) An apparent affinity of the multivalent ligand for the M 2 receptor subtype (apparent pK I = 9.51 + 0.22) which was several orders of magnitude greater than its two monovalent components (apparent pK I values < 6.0) (2) Specificity of THRX-160209 for the M 2 receptor subtype, as compared to the closely related M 4 (apparent pK I = 8.78 + 0.24) and M 1 , M 3 and M 5 receptors (apparent pK I values < 8.0) (3) Acceleration (> 10-fold) of the dissociation rate of tritium labeled THRX-160209 from M 2 receptors by competing monovalent ligands that are known to interact with either the orthosteric site (e.g. atropine) or a well-characterized, allosteric site (e.g. obidoxime) on the receptor. In complementary kinetic studies assessing allosteric modulation of the receptor, unlabeled THRX-160209 retarded dissociation of [ 3 H]NMS. The effects of THRX-160209 on retardation of [ 3 H]NMS dissociation were competitively inhibited by obidoxime, suggesting that obidoxime and THRX-160209 bind to an overlapping region coincident with other typical muscarinic allosteric agents, such as W84 and gallamine. Collectively, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that THRX-160209 binds in a multivalent manner to the M 2 receptor, simultaneously occupying the orthosteric and a spatially distinct, allosteric site.

This study evaluated the pharmacology of revefenacin at human recombinant mAChRs and in airway tissues from rats, guinea pigs, and humans. At human recombinant mAChRs, revefenacin displayed high affinity (pKI = 8.2‐9.8) and behaved as a competitive antagonist (pKI, apparent = 9.4‐10.9) at the five human recombinant mAChRs. Kinetic studies demonstrated that revefenacin dissociated significantly slower from the hM3 (t1/2 = 82 minutes) compared to the hM2 (t1/2 = 6.9 minutes) mAChR at 37°C, thereby making it kinetically selective for the former subtype. Similarly, in functional studies, revefenacin‐mediated antagonism of acetylcholine (ACh)‐evoked calcium mobilization responses were reversed less rapidly at hM3 compared to the hM2 mAChR. In isolat...
