Biological Activity
Muscarinic receptor[1]
Rapacuronium binds to all muscarinic receptor subtypes at physiologically relevant concentrations and displays micromolar affinity and slight selectivity towards M2 receptor. Rapacuronium exhibits complex effects on the kinetics of ACh binding and subsequent receptor activation estimated from stimulation of [35S]GTPγS binding. Rapacuronium alone concentration dependently lowers [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes with a maximal effect of approximately 25% at odd-numbered subtypes and 15% at even-numbered subtypes, with EC50 ranging from 28 μM at M2 receptors to 76 μM at M3 receptors. While the EC50 values of Rapacuronium in inhibiting [35S]GTPγS binding at individual subtypes correlated with affinities measured in binding experiments with [3H]ACh (R2 = 0.76) they are lower (4- to 12-fold) at all subtypes. Measurements of ACh-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding in the presence of 0.1, 1 and 10 μM Rapacuronium shows differential effects of Rapacuronium on receptor activation by an orthosteric agonist at individual receptor subtypes. At even-numbered subtypes 1 μM and 10 μM Rapacuronium significantly increases ACh EC50, with lowering of EMAX at 10 μM Rapacuronium. At this subtype 0.1 and 1 μM Rapacuronium causes a significant 2-fold decrease in ACh EC50 and approximately 60% and 35% increase in EMAX, respectively. Rapacuronium at 10 μM increases ACh EC50 by about 3-fold without a significant change in EMAX. Rapacuronium (0.1 - 10 μM) has no effect on ACh efficacy at the M1 and M5 subtypes but decreases the EC50 of ACh in stimulating [35S]GTPγS binding by 1.5- and 4-fold, respectively, at concentrations of 0.1 and 1 μM. However, this effect is not evident at 10 μM Rapacuronium[1].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.07 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Protocol
For determination of [35S]GTPγS binding to G-proteins in membranes a final concentration of 200 pM (M1, M3 and M5 receptors) or 500 pM (M2 and M4 receptors) of [35S]GTPγS is used. Incubation medium is supplemented with 5 μM (M1, M3 and M5 receptors) or 50 μM (M2 and M4 receptors) GDP. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of 1 μM unlabeled GTPγS. When effects of Rapacuronium on ACh-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding is measured Rapacuronium is added to membranes 60 min prior to ACh and [35S]GTPγS. Incubation with [35S]GTPγS is carried out for 20 min and free ligand is removed by filtration as described above. Filtration and washing with ice-cold water lasted for 9 s (wash-aspirate button time). After filtration filters are dried in vacuum for 1 h while heated at 80°C and then solid scintillator Meltilex A is melted on filters (105°C, 90 s) using a hot plate. After cooling the filters are counted using a Wallac Microbeta scintillation counter[1].
