We investigated the molecular nature of the interaction between the
functionally selective M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist xanomeline and the human M1 mAChR expressed
in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In contrast to the
non-subtype-selective agonist carbachol, xanomeline demonstrated
M1 mAChR binding that was resistant to extensive washout,
resulting in a significant reduction in apparent
N-[3H]methylscopolamine saturation binding
affinity in intact cells. Functional assays, using both M1
mAChR-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis and activation of neuronal
nitric oxide synthase, confirmed that this persistent binding resulted
in elevated basal levels of system activity. Furthermore, this
phenomenon could be reversed by the addition of the antagonist
atropine. However, pharmacological analysis of the inhibition by
atropine of xanomeline-mediated functional responses indicated a
possible element of noncompetitive behavior that was not evident in
several kinetic and equilibrium binding experimental paradigms. Taken
together, our findings indicate for the first time a novel mode of
interaction between an mAChR agonist and the M1 mAChR,
which may involve unusually avid binding of xanomeline to the receptor.
This yields a fraction of added agonist that is retained at the level
of the receptor compartment to persistently bind to and activate the
receptor subsequent to washout. The results of the current study
suggest that elucidation of the mechanism or mechanisms of interaction
of xanomeline with the M1 mAChR is particularly important
in relation to the potential therapeutic use of this agent in the
treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
