mAChRs (muscarinic acetylcholine receptors) are acetylcholine receptors that form G protein-receptor complexes in the cell membranes of certainneurons and other cells. They play several roles, including acting as the main end-receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibersin the parasympathetic nervous system. mAChRs are named as such because they are more sensitive to muscarine than to nicotine. Their counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), receptor ion channels that are also important in the autonomic nervous system. Many drugs and other substances (for example pilocarpineand scopolamine) manipulate these two distinct receptors by acting as selective agonists or antagonists. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter found extensively in the brain and the autonomic ganglia.

Aclidinium Bromide(LAS 34273; LAS-W 330) is a long-acting, inhaled muscarinic antagonist as a maintenance treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). IC50 value:Target: M3 receptorPreclinically, aclidinium showed potent antagonism of human muscarinic receptors, with a long residence time at M3 receptors and a shorter residence time at M2 receptors, indicating the potential to provide sustained bronchodilation. Aclidinium is rapidly hydrolysed in human plasma, unlike other currently available antimuscarinics including tiotropium. Early clinical studies in healthy subjects have confirmed the low systemic bioavailability and favourable safety profile of single and multiple doses of aclidinium. In a subsequent Phase IIb study, which included 464 patients with moderate to severe COPD, aclidinium displayed long-lasting bronchodilatory activity and was well tolerated.

5-hydroxymethyl Tolterodine (PNU 200577, 5-HMT, 5-HM)

IC50 value: 0.84 nM (Kb)Target: mAChR(R)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine is a major pharmacologically active metabolite of tolterodine. In vitro, (R)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine prevented carbachol-induced contraction of guinea-pig isolated urinary bladder strips in a competitive and concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, (R)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine was significantly more potent at suppressing acetylcholine-induced urinary bladder contraction than electrically induced salivation in the anaesthetised cat (ID50=15 and 40 nmol/kg, respectively). In radioligand binding studies carried out in homogenates of guinea-pig tissues and Chinese hamster ovary cell lines expressing human muscarinic m1-m5 receptors, (R)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine was not selective for any muscarinic receptor subtype. Thus, (R)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine is similar to tolterodine in terms of antimuscarinic potency, functional selectivity for the urinary bladder in vivo and absence of selectivity for muscarinic receptor subtypes in vitro. The results of this study clearly indicate that (R)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine contributes to the therapeutic action of tolterodine, in view of its high antimuscarinic potency, similar serum concentration and lower degree of protein binding.
