A growing understanding of the role of muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology and treatment of schizophrenia [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Pre-clinical models, postmortem and neuroimaging studies all support a role for muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology of schizophrenia. From these data it was proposed that activation of the muscarinic M1 and/or M4 receptor would reduce the ...

Muscarinic Receptors Associated with Cancer. [PDF]
Cancers (Basel), 2022 Cancer has been considered the pathology of the century and factors such as the environment may play an important etiological role. The ability of muscarinic agonists to stimulate growth and muscarinic receptor antagonists to inhibit tumor growth has been demonstrated for breast, melanoma, lung, gastric, colon, pancreatic, ovarian, prostate, and brain ...

Neuromodulation of Persistent Activity and Working Memory Circuitry in Primate Prefrontal Cortex by Muscarinic Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 Neuromodulation by acetylcholine plays a vital role in shaping the physiology and functions of cerebral cortex. Cholinergic neuromodulation influences brain-state transitions, controls the gating of cortical sensory stimulus responses, and has been shown

Muscarinic Receptors and Their Antagonists in COPD: Anti-Inflammatory and Antiremodeling Effects
Mediators of Inflammation, 2012 Muscarinic receptors are expressed by most cell types and mediate cellular signaling of their natural ligand acetylcholine. Thereby, they control numerous central and peripheral physiological organ responses to neuronal activity.

Muscarinic receptors and ligands in cancer.
American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2009 Emerging evidence indicates that muscarinic receptors and ligands play key roles in regulating cellular proliferation and cancer progression. Both neuronal and nonneuronal acetylcholine production results in neurocrine, paracrine, and autocrine promotion

Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 An allosteric modulator is a ligand that binds to an allosteric site on the receptor and changes receptor conformation to produce increase (positive cooperativity) or decrease (negative cooperativity) in the binding or action of an orthosteric agonist (e.

Characterization of Bladder Selectivity of Antimuscarinic Agents on the Basis of Drug-Receptor Binding [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2012 The in vivo muscarinic receptor binding of antimuscarinic agents (oxybutynin, solifenacin, tolterodine, and imidafenacin) used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder is reviewed.
