    Abstract:
    The affinities of atropine, scopolamine, 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate and twelve analogues of 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate were determined for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (m-AChR) using membrane preparations from caudate/putamen. The affinity constants thus obtained were compared with affinities previously reported for the m-AChR obtained from ventricular muscle. The affinities differed significantly for six of the compounds, the largest difference being 16-fold. Neither solubilization nor variation of physiologically significant salts led to a significant change in the affinity of that compound. These results are interpreted as supporting the subclassification of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.
