Abstrakt: Muscarinic receptors in human tracheal smooth muscle were characterized by radioligand binding and functional studies. Specific [3H]-(-)-quinuclidinylbenzilate ([3H]-(-)-QNB) binding to tracheal smooth muscle membranes was reversible, stereoselective and of high affinity (Kd=47±4 pmol/l;RT=920±120 fmol/g tissue). Inhibition of specific [3H]-(-)-QNB binding by the M-1 selective antagonist pirenzepine was found to occur at relative high concentrations classifying the muscarinic receptor population as belonging to the M-2 subclass.
