p-Fluorohexahydro-sila-difenidol hydrochloride (pFHHSid) has been used:
as the M3/muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist to study its involvement in carbachol induced Egr-1 biosynthesis using human neuroblastoma cells[1]
as M3 receptor antagonist to test its involvement on N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET)-induced angiogenesis in human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVEC)[2]
in a study to examine the role of aclidinium on human fibroblast to myofibroblast[3]
Biochem/physiol Actions

Carbachol-mediated activation of type M(3) muscarinic acetylcholine receptors induces the biosynthesis of the transcription factor Egr-1 in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells involving an activation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase. Carbachol triggered the phosphorylation of the ternary complex factor Elk-1, a
Fibroblast to myofibroblast transition is believed to contribute to airway remodelling in lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study examines the role of aclidinium, a new long-acting muscarinic antagonist, on human fibroblast to myofibroblast transition.

The effect of the cholinomimetic agent, bethanechol on macroscopic membrane currents was studied in dispersed cat atrial myocytes, using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Bethanechol activated an inward rectifying potassium current similar to I(K(ACh)), and a delayed rectifying-like outward current, similar

In this study, the authors set out to determine the presence of M3 muscarinic receptors in rat striatum by examining the binding of [3H]N-methylscopolamine ([3H]NMS) to striatal membranes and its displacement by antagonists with different affinity for M1 and M3

Most colon cancers overexpress M3 muscarinic receptors (M3R), and post-M3R signaling stimulates human colon cancer cell proliferation. Acetylcholine (ACh), a muscarinic receptor ligand traditionally regarded as a neurotransmitter, may be produced by nonneuronal cells. We hypothesized that ACh release by
