Abstract

The specific binding of [3H]pirenzepine ([3H]PZ) and [3H](-) quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H](-)QNB) was investigated in homogenates of human stellate ganglia. [3H]PZ saturation isotherms yielded a Kd of 14 nM and Bmax of 16.7 fmol/mg protein, while [3H](-)QNB binding curves yielded a Kd of 59 pM and Bmax of 33.0 fmol/mg protein. This represents the greatest proportion of high affinity [3H]PZ labeling, relative to [3H](-)QNB, seen in any peripheral tissue examined thus far.
