Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Darifenacin, also known as UK-88525, is a medication used to treat urinary incontinence. Darifenacin works by blocking the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, which is primarily responsible for bladder muscle contractions. It thereby decreases the urgency to urinate.

Biological target:
Darifenacin hydrobromide (UK-88525 hydrobromide) is a selective M3 muscarinic receptor antagonist with pKi of 8.9.
In vitro activity:
Darifenacin, an anticholinergic agent, has been used to treat overactive bladder syndrome. Despite its extensive clinical use, there is little information about the effect of darifenacin on vascular ion channels, specifically K+ channels. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the anti-muscarinic drug darifenacin on voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels, vascular contractility, and coronary blood flow in rabbit coronary arteries. Isometric organ bath experiments using isolated coronary arteries were applied to evaluate whether darifenacin-induced inhibition of the Kv channel causes vasocontraction. Darifenacin substantially induced vasocontraction. Furthermore, darifenacin caused membrane depolarization and decreased coronary blood flow. From these results, it is concluded that darifenacin inhibits the Kv currents in concentration- and use- (state)-dependent manners. Inhibition of the Kv current with darifenacin occurred by shifting the steady-state activation and inactivation curves regardless of its anti-muscarinic effect.

In vivo activity:
A novel muscarinic receptor antagonist, darifenacin, inhibited specific binding of [N-methyl-(3)H]scopolamine ([(3)H]NMS) in the mouse bladder, submaxillary gland and heart in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect was most potent in the submaxillary gland, followed by the bladder and heart. At 0.5 to 12 h after oral administration of darifenacin, a significant increase in K(d) values for specific [(3)H]NMS binding was seen in the bladder, submaxillary gland and lung of mice, compared with control values. Also, there was a sustained decrease in the B(max) values in the submaxillary gland. These data suggest that muscarinic receptor binding of oral darifenacin is rapid in onset and of a long duration. On the other hand, oral darifenacin exerted only temporary or little binding of muscarinic receptors in the heart and colon. Pilocarpine-induced salivary secretion in mice was continuously suppressed by oral darifenacin. The time-course of suppression coincided well with that for the muscarinic receptor binding in the submaxillary gland. The antagonistic effect of darifenacin against the dose-response curves for pilocarpine appeared to be insurmountable. In conclusion, the present study has shown that oral darifenacin may exert a pronounced and long-lasting binding of muscarinic receptors in tissues expressing the M(3) subtype.
