title: The antimuscarinic activity of a dopamine receptor agonist (RDS-127) differentiates M2-muscarinic receptors of heart, ileum and trachea in guinea-pig.
abstract: The antimuscarinic action of a dopamine receptor agonist, 2-di-n-propylamino-4,7-dimethoxyindane (RDS-127) was evaluated using guinea-pig isolated electrically paced left atria, spontaneously beating atria, ileal longitudinal muscle and tracheal strip. RDS-127 competitively antagonized the responses to carbachol in all these tissues. RDS-127 exhibits higher selectivity for tracheal M2-muscarinic receptors than for cardiac and ileal receptors. In addition, the affinity of RDS-127 towards cardiac M2-muscarinic receptors was also greater than towards ileum. RDS-127 did not show any selectivity for M2-muscarinic receptors mediating negative inotropic and chronotropic effects.
