Darifenacin hydrobromide
Based on 8 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Darifenacin (UK-88525) hydrobromide is a selective and orally active M3 muscarinic receptor (M3R) antagonist with a pKi of 8.9. Darifenacin hydrobromide binds >20-fold more specifically to M3R than to other muscarinic receptors. Darifenacin hydrobromide can be used in the study of urinary incontinence and other symptoms of overactive bladder. Darifenacin hydrobromide inhibits tumor growth in colorectal cancer cells and has anti-tumor effects.

Darifenacin hydrobromide purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Oncotarget. 2016 Apr 5;7(14):18085-94. [Abstract]
MACC1 is up-regulated by ACh through p-AMPK. A. ACh stimulates AMPK phosphorylation via M3R. B. Inhibition of AMPK activity by Dorsomorphin (8 μM) suppresses the induction of MACC1 expression by ACh. p-AMPK levels increase after ACh stimulation, and pretreatment of Darifenacin attenuates the ACh-induced increase of p-AMPK.
