McN-A-343 is selective agonist of the muscarinic M1 receptor. McN-A-343 has been used to probe the identity of muscarinic receptors responsible for contractile and relaxant response mediation in various biological systems. Agonist activity at the muscarinic M4 receptor is also described with McN-A-343.
