title: Antimuscarinic activity of telenzepine on isolated human urinary bladder: no role for M1-muscarinic receptors.
abstract: 1. The antimuscarinic activity of the selective M1-blocking drug, telenzepine, was investigated on the isolated human urinary bladder, contracted with exogenous muscarinic agonists and with field stimulation. 2. Telenzepine (3 x 10(-8)-10(-5) M) concentration-dependently shifted to the right the dose-response curves of bethanechol, acetylcholine and McN-A343, and partially depressed the electrically-evoked twitch responses. 3. pA2 values of telenzepine against bethanechol and McN-A343 were very close. 4. McN-A343 did not modify twitch responses elicited by field stimulation up to 10(-5) M. 5. The lack of muscarinic M1 receptors in human detrusor muscle is confirmed.
