Abstract
1 The synthesis of tritium labelled propylbenzilylcholine mustard ([3H]-PrBCM; N-2′-chloroethyl-N-[2″, 3″-3H2] propyl-2-aminoethyl benzilate) is described.
2 The uptake by muscle strips was measured and shown to be considerably increased by previous immersion of the muscle in distilled water.
3 A considerable part of the uptake is inhibited selectively by atropine, but not by nicotinic antagonists. A number of muscarinic agonists also inhibit uptake and their apparent affinity constants have been determined.
4 The uptake by atropine-sensitive sites is temperature-insensitive, whereas the other sites are temperature-sensitive. Recovery is highly temperature-sensitive and there is good agreement between recovery of sensitivity to agonists and loss of radioactivity from the muscle.
