Affinity estimates and the M3 selectivity ratio for tiotropium and NVA237 at M1–5 receptor under physiological conditions

The M3 selectivity ratio defines muscarinic receptor subtype selectivity as a ratio of the Ki of the individual subtypes over the Ki at M3 receptor. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E. from a representative of three or more experiments.
