title: Activation of inward current associated with M-potassium current inhibition in m1-muscarinic receptor-transformed NG108-15 cells by KST-5452, a novel cognition enhancer.
abstract: The electrophysiological effects of KST-5452 [3-(m-phenoxybenzylidene)-quinuclidine], an M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (muscarinic AChR) binding compound, were studied in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells transfected with m1 muscarinic AChR cDNA. Application of KST-5452 to m1-transformed NGPM1-27 cells elicited a sustained inward current associated with decreased conductance and reduced M-current relaxations at a holding potential of -20 mV. The KST-5452-induced responses were blocked by pirenzepine, suggesting that KST-5452 acts as a potent excitant via M1 muscarinic AChRs in brain neurons.
