(/sup 125/I) 3-Quinuclidinyl 4-iodobenzilate: a high affinity, high specific activity radioligand for the M/sub 1/ and M/sub 2/-acetylcholine receptors

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)

A radioiodinated ligand has been prepared which binds with high affinity to the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (m-AChR). A derivative of 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate, (/sup 125/I) labeled (R) 1-azabicyclo(2.2.2)oct-3-yl (R,S)-..cap alpha..-hydroxy-..cap alpha..-(4-(/sup 125/I)iodophenyl)phenyl acetate (4-IQNB) exhibits an affinity for the m-AChR from corpus striatum higher than that of (R) (/sup 3/H) QNB. Additionally, (/sup 125/I) 4-IQNB exhibits receptor selectivity for the M/sub 1/ receptor since the affinity for the receptor from dog and rat heart is lower than that using dog or rat corpus striatum.
