“…The acetylcholine receptors of Ascaris muscle have been classified as nicotinic, as nicotinic agonists produce contractions antagonised by tubocurarine, whereas muscarinic agonists and antagonists have little effect on this preparation (Natoff, 1969;Rozkova et al, 1980;Martin, 1982, Colquhoun et al, 1991. The pharmacology of the acetycholine receptors on Ascaris muscle is most like that of the nicotinic ganglionic receptors of vertebrates, most notably mecamylamine is a potent antagonist at both receptor sites (Natoff, 1969;Rozkova et al, 1980).…”
