Abstract
CP-96,345 [(2S,3S)-cis-2-(diphenylmethyl)-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl) methyl]-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-amine) antagonism of substance P-stimulated salivation was investigated in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. Administered either intraperitoneally or orally, CP-96,345 produced dose-dependent inhibition of the sialogogic response elicited by substance P, with a median effective dose of 12-24 mumol/kg (5-10 mg/kg) of body weight, but had no effect on acetylcholine-stimulated salivation. CP-96,345 produced concentration-dependent inhibition of [3H]substance P binding to rat submaxillary gland membranes, with a median effective concentration of 34 +/- 3.6 nM. These biological activities were confined to CP-96,345 in that the 2R,3R enantiomer (CP-96,344) was without effect.
