Determination of (1) the absolute number of cholinergic receptors, (2) the cholinergic binding kinetics, and (3) the direct antimuscarinic activity of a series of uropharmacologic agents was accomplished by radioligand binding techniques in tissue derived from human urinary bladder. The competition between 3 H‐quinuclidinyl benzilate ( 3 H‐QNB) binding and selective antagonists provided the first quantitative assessment of cholinergic receptor characteristics in the human bladder fundus and represents a potential method for assessing the antimuscarinic binding potential of uropharmacologic agents.
