Abstract

1. The affinity of a number of derivatives of the muscarinic antagonist, hexocyclium, containing an amidine cationic head, for guinea-pig cardiac and ileal receptors was investigated. 2. All the compounds studied displayed a greater affinity for muscular than for cardiac muscarinic receptors. 3. The 5 fold ileal selectivity of hexocyclium was increased by a number of chemical substitutions. The largest discrimination between receptors (about 200 fold) was found for the formamidine derivative. 4. The selectivity displayed by the hexocyclium derivatives stemmed from a greater decrease in affinity towards cardiac as compared to ileal receptors.
