[3H]N-methylscopolamine dissociation from muscarine receptors affected by low concentrations of allosteric modulators
Abstract
The ability of allosteric ligands to modulate the dissociation rate of [3H]N-methylscopolamine from atrial muscarinic receptors in the presence of varying concentrations of unlabelled N-methylscopolamine or atropine was evaluated. Gallamine, at a concentration approximating its KD value, slowed the dissociation of [3H]N-methylscopolamine in the presence of ca. 30 x KD of both unlabelled NMS or atropine. This was less evident when concentrations of ca. 1000 x KD of the unlabelled antagonists were employed. Similar findings were made with another allosteric modulator. These results indicate that gallamine can act allosterically at low concentrations.
