The concentration-dependent binding of (+)-benzetimide-H3and (−)-benzetimide-H3, the active and inactive enantiomers, respectively of the anticholinergic agent, (±)-benzetimide, and of atropine-3to a fraction from bovine tracheal smooth muscle was studied by equilibrium dialysis. Analysis of the binding curves revealed the presence of a saturable high affinity binding site for (+)-benzetimide and atropine but not for (−)-benzetimide. The stereospecificity of the binding and the results of competition experiments with cholinergic and non-cholinergic compounds provided evidence, that the high affinity binding sites for (+)-benzetimide and atropine are identical with the muscarinic receptor. Attempts to solubilize the binding sites with detergents, commonly used in this type of work, resulted in complete loss of stereospecificity. Digitonin, a plant glycoside with mild detergent properties, released components to which (+)-benzetimide-H3and (−)-benzetimide-H3were still bound differently, strongly suggesting the presence of solubilized muscarinic receptors. The stereoselective binding sites for anticholinergic agents, as observed in the caudate nucleus, could also be solubilized with digitonin but only after hexane extraction of lyophilized homogenates.
