The analgesic effects of a series of muscarinic agonists were
investigated by use of the mouse acetic acid writhing, grid-shock, hot-plate and tail-flick tests. The compounds tested were oxotremorine, pilocarpine, arecoline, aceclidine, RS86 and four
3-3(substituted-1,2,5-thiadiazol-4-yl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl pyridines (substituted TZTP), these being propoxy-TZTP,
3-Cl-propylthio-TZTP, xanomeline (hexyloxy-TZTP) and hexylthio-TZTP.
These agonists were also assayed for their ability to displace
[3H]oxotremorine-M and [3H]pirenzepine
binding and for their functional selectivity at pharmacologic
M1, M2 and M3 receptors. These
compounds all produced dose-dependent antinociceptive effects in all of
the mouse analgesia tests. The effects of oxotremorine in the writhing
test were fully antagonized by the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine
(0.1 mg/kg), but only partially antagonized by methscopolamine (10 mg/kg) and unaffected by the opioid antagonist naltrexone.
3-Cl-propylthio-TZTP and propoxy-TZTP had virtually no effect at the
M1 receptor subtype as measured by the human m1
clone expressed in baby hamster kidney cells or the rabbit vas deferens
assay. These compounds, however, were more potent in the analgesia
tests than the selective M1 agonists xanomeline and
hexylthio-TZTP. These data suggest that muscarinic analgesia is
mediated by central muscarinic receptors. However, activity at the
M1 receptor subtype is not a requirement for
antinociceptive activity.
