Estimates of xanomeline pKB in antagonizing the responses to carbachol

Negative logarithms of xanomeline pKB based on its effect on carbachol-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding. Constants were obtained by nonlinear regression of eq. 5 to EC50 of carbachol concentration-response curves from individual experiments. Table shows averages ± S.E.M. (n = 4). Values of pEC50 of xanomeline concentration-response curves and pKI of xanomeline inhibition of [3H]NMS binding are shown for comparison.
