Understanding the role of the M1 muscarinic receptor in the propagation of tau as a pathology of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). While NFT propagation correlates with disease progression, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. Loss of cholinergic neurons and disrupted cholinergic signalling also occurs throughout AD.

Bitopic binding mode of an M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist associated with adverse clinical trial outcomes [PDF]
The realisation of the therapeutic potential of targeting the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M1 mAChR) for the treatment of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease has prompted the discovery of M1 mAChR ligands showing efficacy in alleviating ...

Vitamin E can compensate the density of M1 receptors in the hippocampus of scopolamine-treated rats
M1 muscarinic receptor plays a fundamental role in memory and is closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD); it has long been assumed as a therapeutic goal. By activating of the cholinergic receptor vitamin E helps with memory retention.

Synthesis and pharmacological profiling of analogues of benzyl quinolone carboxylic acid (BQCA) as allosteric modulators of the M1 muscarinic receptor [PDF]
Established therapy in Alzheimer’s disease involves potentiation of the endogenous orthosteric ligand, acetylcholine, at the M1 muscarinic receptors found in higher concentrations in the cortex and hippocampus.
