Compounds with high affinity for muscarinic Ms receptors have been used for many years to treat conditions associated with altered smooth muscle tone or contractility such as urinary urge incontinence, irritable bowel syndrome or chronic obstructive airways disease. Ms selective antagonists have the potential for improved toleration when compared with non-selective compounds. Darifenacin has high affinity (pKi 9.12) and selectivity (9 to 74-fold) for the human cloned muscarinic Mg receptor. Consistent with this profile, the compound potently inhibited Mg receptor mediated responses of smooth muscle preparations (guinea pig ileum, trachea and bladder, pA(2) 8.66 to 9.4) with selectivity over responses mediated through the Mi (pA(2) 7.9) and Mt receptors (pA(2) 7.48). Interestingly, darifenacin also exhibited functional tissue selectivity for intestinal smooth muscle over the salivary gland. The Mj over MI and Ma selectivity of darifenacin was confirmed in a range of animal models. In particular, in the conscious dog darifenacin inhibited intestinal motility at doses lower than those which inhibit gastric acid secretion (M-1 response), increase heart rate (M-2 response) or inhibit salivary secretion. Clinical studies are ongoing to determine if darifenacin has improved efficacy and or toleration when compared with non-selective agents.
