Advances in Targeting Central Cholinergic Dysfunction for Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Pharmacotherapy to Neuromodulation

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review charts the evolution of cholinergic therapies for neurodegenerative diseases—from classical acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) providing symptomatic relief to precision multi‐target drugs and neuromodulation (VNS, DBS, NIBS) that restore dysfunctional circuits. Emerging gene therapy, cell regeneration, and advanced cholinergic imaging

Flexible synthesis of poison-frog alkaloids of the 5,8-disubstituted indolizidine-class. II: Synthesis of (-)-209B, (-)-231C, (-)-233D, (-)-235B", (-)-221I, and an epimer of 193E and pharmacological effects at neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2007
BackgroundThe 5,8-disubstituted indolizidines constitute the largest class of poison-frog alkaloids. Some alkaloids have been shown to act as noncompetitive blockers at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors but the proposed structures and the biological ...

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.

Molecular pharmacology of an insect GABA receptor [PDF]

, 2010
Cys-loop receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that are involved in fast synaptic neurotransmission in the central and peripheral nervous system. The Cys-loop receptor RDL (‘resistant to dieldrin’) is a GABA-gated chloride channel from Drosophila ...

Synthesis and Antagonist Activity of Methyllycaconitine Analogues on Human α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]

, 2022
Methyllycaconitine (MLA), 1, is a naturally occurring norditerpenoid alkaloid that is a highly potent (IC50 = 2 nM) selective antagonist of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of nerve and muscle: Functional aspects

, 1987
Cloning studies suggest that there are at least five types of nicotinic receptor with different amino acid sequences. David Colquhoun and colleagues discuss pharmacological consequences of this heterogeneity.

Increased Binding of [18F]Nifene, a PET Imaging Probe for α4β2* Nicotinic Acetylcholinergic Receptors in Hippocampus–Subiculum of Postmortem Human Parkinson's Disease Brain

Synapse, Volume 80, Issue 5, September 2026.
[18F]Nifene, a PET imaging probe for α4β2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, was used to discretely measure changes in hippocampus (HP) and subiculum (SUB) of postmortem Parkinson's disease (PD) cases compared to cognitively normal (CN) cases. Significant increased [18F]nifene binding in PD was observed.

Inhibition of kynurenine 3‐monooxygenase (KMO) reduces fentanyl and sucrose intake and relapse‐like behaviour in rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5458-5475, September 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Opioid use disorder, particularly involving fentanyl, poses major challenges due to high relapse rates and limited effectiveness of pharmacotherapies. The kynurenine pathway has emerged as a target for addiction treatment through its modulation of glutamatergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission.

α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and memory processes: mechanistic and behavioral studies [PDF]

, 2015
This dissertation focusses on the functioning of our memory. Various memory processes and the ways to examine these are treated. Furthermore, the role α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChRs) play in various memory processes is discussed in ...

Topical Donepezil for Cholinergic Modulation in Chronic Wound Repair

Wound Repair and Regeneration, Volume 34, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic wounds result from combined defects in vascular perfusion, inflammatory resolution, and epithelial repair. The skin's non‐neuronal cholinergic system (NNCS), formed by keratinocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and immune cells that synthesise and respond to acetylcholine (ACh), helps coordinate these processes through muscarinic ...
