IQNP, a high affinity muscarinic ligand with high cerebral uptake and long retention, contains two chiral centers in addition to vinyl iodide sterochemistry. The various diastereomers, in which the 3-quinuclidinyl moiety has the R configuration, have been prepared and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. These data show that muscarinic receptor subtype selectivity is dramatically affected by the configuration of the acetate center and vinyl iodide. In vitro studies show that E-(R,R)-IQNP is 100 times more selective for ml than m2 subtype as compared to E-(R,S), which was confirmed by in vivo results. In contrast, in vivo, Z-(R,R) has high uptake in m2 rich tissues (heart and cerebellum). In vitro studies are being performed on the Z isomers. Blocking studies with subtype-specific ligands confirm these data which illustrate the importance of molecular configuration on receptor subtype selectivity. These combined studies demonstrate that these isomers of IQNP are good candidates for future studies of receptor subtypes.
