|
early SAR model of Ach binding to muscarinic receptor
(2) |
imagined to have 2 sites on the receptor:
esteratic and anionic site |
|
describe the esteratic and anionic site of muscarinic receptor of early Ach binding SAR model
|
esteratic reacts with O of ester group on Ach
aspartate sits in anionic pocket and binds with quaternary amine |
|
what was wrong with the early Ach binding model? (other SAR it could not explain) (4)
|
2 groups on the amine must be methyl groups
there is a known stereochemical preference has no chirality Ing's rule of five |
|
what is ing's rule of five
|
all potent cholinergic agonists have only 5 atoms between nitrogen and terminal hydrogens (not counting the O bound to carbonyl)
|
|
2 more modern studies regarding SAR of Ach binding
|
computer assisted modeling has refined models to show arrangement of helical bundles and binding sites
GPCR crystal structures have been realized |
|
2 different downstream ...effectors...of M receptors
|
adenylate cyclase
phospholipase C |
|
M receptor activation and what happens with AC (2)
|
activation of muscarinic Ach receptor causes inhibition of adenylate cyclase
this causes reduction in cAMP in cell |
|
M receptor activation and what happens with PLC (3 steps)
|
PLC activation -->cleaves lipid into DAG and IP3
these go on to increase intracellular Ca++ Ca++ activates PKC |
|
pirenzipine- what is it?
significance? |
compound found that blocked gastric acid secretion, but did not block effect of muscarinic agonists
discovery led to M receptor subtypes (1-5) |
|
structure of pirenzipine?
|

|
|
M1 receptors- location (5)
|
CNS, gastric, salivary, autonomic ganglia, enteric nerves
|
|
M1,3,5 - describe pathway of activation
|
Gq-->
PLC activation increases IP3/DAG leading to increased IC calcium and PKC activation-->depolarization |
|
M3 receptors- location (4)
|
CNS, smooth muscle, glands, heart
|
|
M5 receptors location (2)
|
low lvls in CNS/periphery
mostly in DA neurons of substantia nigra/vta |
|
M2 receptors Location (4)
|
autonomic nerve terminals
CNS heart- lower rate smooth muscle- contract |
|
M4 receptors location
|
CNS
|
|
3 binding sites of muscarinic receptors
|
Asp (- charge attracts quat amine), Tyr, Thr
|
|
G protein process of signalling (5 steps)
|
1) Aby bound to GDP
2) exchange factor switches GDP for GTP upon binding of Ach 3) b-y dissociates to activate stuff downstream 4) alpha has GTPase activity and hydrolyzes GTP to GDP 5) reassociates with By |
|
