Product Description
(Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine ((Rac)-Desfesoterodine) is an bioactive metabolite of Tolterodine and an mAChR antagonist (Kis for M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 receptors are 2.3 nM, 2 nM, 2.5 nM, 2.8 nM and 2.9 nM). (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine may be used in overactive bladder research.
(Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine, also known as (Rac)-Desfesoterodine or (Rac)-PNU-200577, is the primary bioactive metabolite of the antimuscarinic drug tolterodine. It functions as a potent, non-selective antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). The compound exhibits high affinity for all five mAChR subtypes, with Ki values of 2.3 nM for M1, 2 nM for M2, 2.5 nM for M3, 2.8 nM for M4, and 2.9 nM for M5 receptors. This metabolite is primarily responsible for the pharmacological activity of tolterodine, making it a key compound in the study of overactive bladder and other conditions involving cholinergic dysregulation. (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine acts as a competitive antagonist at mAChRs, inhibiting carbachol-induced contractions of isolated guinea pig bladder strips in a concentration-dependent manner with a KB of 0.84 nM and a pA2 of 9.14. In vivo studies have demonstrated that the compound binds significantly to muscarinic receptors in various organs, with the longest duration of binding observed in the bladder. The compound is a white to off-white solid powder with a molecular weight of 341.49, a LogP of 4.12, and a purity of ≥98%. As the active metabolite of a clinically approved drug, (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine serves as an important reference standard in pharmacological research and drug development. It is used to study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tolterodine and related antimuscarinic agents. The compound is available as the racemic mixture, and its individual enantiomers may exhibit different pharmacological properties. It is not intended for human therapeutic use as a standalone compound and is strictly for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ki: M1 (2.3 nM), M2 (2 nM), M3 (2.5 nM), M4 (2.8 nM), and M5 (2.9 nM)[1]
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), specifically M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 subtypes. (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine acts as a non-selective, competitive antagonist at all five mAChR subtypes.
ln Vitro
The contraction of guinea-pig isolated urinary bladder strips caused by carbachol is competitively and concentration-dependently inhibited in vitro by (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine (PNU-200577) (KB of 0.84 nM; pA2 of 9.14)[2].
(Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine is a potent, non-selective mAChR antagonist with high affinity for all five receptor subtypes. The Ki values are 2.3 nM for M1, 2 nM for M2, 2.5 nM for M3, 2.8 nM for M4, and 2.9 nM for M5 receptors. In functional assays, the compound acts as a competitive antagonist, inhibiting carbachol-induced contractions of isolated guinea pig bladder strips in a concentration-dependent manner with a KB of 0.84 nM and a pA2 of 9.14. These data confirm its potent and efficacious antagonism at mAChRs, consistent with its role as the primary active metabolite of tolterodine.
ln Vivo
Treatment with (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine (5-HMT; 0.88 μmol/kg; iv) demonstrates that the drug significantly binds to muscarinic receptors in all organs with the exception of the cerebral cortex, with the bladder exhibiting the longest duration of binding[3].
In vivo, (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine (5-HMT; 0.88 μmol/kg; intravenous administration) binds significantly to muscarinic receptors in all organs except the cerebral cortex. The longest duration of binding is observed in the bladder, which is consistent with the therapeutic use of tolterodine for overactive bladder. This tissue distribution pattern explains the clinical efficacy of tolterodine in reducing bladder contractions while minimizing central nervous system side effects.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays are performed to determine the affinity of (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine for the five mAChR subtypes. These assays typically use radioligand binding techniques with membrane preparations from cells or tissues expressing the target receptors. The compound's ability to displace a specific radiolabeled ligand (e.g., [3H]-N-methylscopolamine or [3H]-QNB) from each receptor subtype is measured to calculate its Ki values. Functional antagonism is confirmed by assessing the compound's ability to inhibit agonist-induced responses, such as carbachol-stimulated contractions in isolated tissue preparations.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays are conducted using cells expressing recombinant mAChR subtypes (e.g., CHO or HEK-293 cells). The cells are treated with a receptor agonist (e.g., carbachol) in the presence or absence of varying concentrations of (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine. The inhibition of agonist-induced intracellular signaling, such as calcium mobilization or PI hydrolysis, is measured to quantify the antagonistic activity. The competitive nature of the antagonism is established by assessing the reversal of inhibition at high agonist concentrations. The compound's potency (KB) and affinity (Ki) are determined from these functional and binding assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies are typically conducted in animal models to evaluate the pharmacological effects of (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine. The compound is administered via intravenous injection (e.g., 0.88 μmol/kg) to assess its tissue distribution and receptor binding. Its effects on bladder function are evaluated in models of overactive bladder by measuring bladder pressure, contraction frequency, and urine output. The duration of receptor binding in different organs is assessed to understand the tissue selectivity and pharmacokinetic profile of the compound.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
(Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine is the primary active metabolite of tolterodine and is responsible for the pharmacological activity of the parent drug. As a metabolite, its pharmacokinetic properties are closely linked to those of tolterodine. Following tolterodine administration, the metabolite is formed rapidly and contributes significantly to the overall antimuscarinic effect. The compound has a LogP of 4.12, indicating moderate lipophilicity. Its tissue distribution is characterized by significant binding to muscarinic receptors in peripheral organs, particularly the bladder, with minimal penetration into the cerebral cortex. This distribution pattern is responsible for the favorable side effect profile of tolterodine, with reduced central nervous system effects compared to other antimuscarinic agents.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are publicly available for (Rac)-5-Hydroxymethyl Tolterodine as a standalone compound. However, as the primary active metabolite of tolterodine, its toxicity profile is expected to be similar to that of the parent drug. Tolterodine is generally well-tolerated, with common side effects including dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision, which are typical of antimuscarinic agents. At high doses, it may cause more severe anticholinergic effects such as urinary retention, tachycardia, and central nervous system disturbances.
