Pirenzepine, a compound with selective anti‐muscarinic activity, was used to distinguish muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes in normal human brain. Hill coefficients and IC 50 values derived from the inhibition of specific [ 3 H] l ‐quinuclidinyl benzilate receptor binding suggest the presence of two muscarinic binding sites, differing both in affinity for pirenzepine and in tissue distribution.
