Cholinergic modulation of dopamine overflow in the rat neostriatum: A fast cyclic voltammetric study in vitro [PDF]
Stimulus-evoked dopamine overflow in rat neostriatal slices was determined using fast cyclic voltammetry. The dopamine efflux induced by intrastriatal stimulation increased with stimulus intensity and was found to be enhanced by more than 100% upon ...

Muscarinic Antagonist Binding to Intact Rat Thymocytes. [PDF]
The presence and properties of muscarinic receptors on intact rat thymocytes have been studied by the use of the muscarinic antagonists [3H]-3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (3H-QNB), [3H]-4-N-methylpiperidinyl benzilate ([3H]-NMBP) and [3H]-N-methylscopolamine (3H-NMS).

Characterization of Bladder Selectivity of Antimuscarinic Agents on the Basis of Drug-Receptor Binding [PDF]
The in vivo muscarinic receptor binding of antimuscarinic agents (oxybutynin, solifenacin, tolterodine, and imidafenacin) used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder is reviewed.

Evaluation of machine-learning methods for ligand-based virtual screening [PDF]
Machine-learning methods can be used for virtual screening by analysing the structural characteristics of molecules of known (in)activity, and we here discuss the use of kernel discrimination and naive Bayesian classifier (NBC) methods for this purpose ...

Affinity of muscarinic receptor antagonists for three putative muscarinic receptor binding sites [PDF]
A range of muscarinic receptor antagonists were examined for affinity at the M1 muscarinic binding site, present in rat cerebrocortical membranes and the M2 muscarinic binding sites of rat cardiac and submaxillary gland membranes. The results obtained were consistent with the presence of three classes of muscarinic binding site.
