TL;DR
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, suggesting that KST -5452 acts as a potent excitant via M1 muscarinic AChRs in brain neurons.
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.
