Functional studies were conducted on guinea pig atrial muscarinic
acetylcholine M2 receptors with the allosteric
modulators heptane-1,7-bis(dimethyl-3
-phthalimidopropyl)ammonium
bromide (C7/3
-phth), gallamine and alcuronium to determine
whether these ligands are able to recognize a common accessory site.
The three modulators inhibited the negative inotropic response to
carbachol in this tissue. When used in combination,
C7/3
-phth and gallamine or C7/3
-phth and
alcuronium gave dose ratios that were either additive or underadditive.
In contrast, the combinations of C7/3
-phth or alcuronium
with the competitive antagonists, N-methylscopolamine or atropine,
yielded supra-additive dose ratios. The data could be reconciled with a
model involving a ternary complex between (1) the receptor, (2)
carbachol, N-methylscopolamine or atropine acting at the orthosteric
binding site and (3) C7/3
-phth, alcuronium or gallamine
acting at a common, allosteric site with varying degrees of
heterotropic cooperativity.
