  • The −log EC50 values of six selective muscarinic receptor antagonists (4-DAMP, HHSiD, pirenzepine, AF-DX 116, methoctramine and tripitramine) were taken from table 1. Average constants related to the same antagonists at native and cloned muscarinic receptors were obtained from binding and functional experiments from the aforementioned references.

  • 2-a P < .05, b P < .01, c P < .001.
