Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor
Progress in Neurobiology, 1978ABSTRACT Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors from rat cerebral cortex and small intestine were studied by the high affinity and high specific activity antagonists 3 H-3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (3-QNB) (29.4 Ci/mmol) and 3 H-N-methyl-4-piperidinyl benzilate (4-NMPB) (55.4 Ci/mmol).

Systemic administration of cholinesterase inhibitors which cross the blood brain barrier have long been known to produce analgesia and enhance analgesia from opiates. A major site of analgesic action of cholinergic agents is the spinal cord. Muscarinic receptors are concentrated in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, an area ...

Muscarinic Receptor Trafficking
2011Knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for the trafficking of neurotransmitter receptors away from the cell surface is of obvious importance in understanding what regulates their expression and function. This chapter will focus on the mechanisms responsible for the internalization and degradation of muscarinic receptors.

Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2006Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors mediate diverse physiological functions. At present, five receptor subtypes (M(1) - M(5)) have been identified. The odd-numbered receptors (M(1), M(3), and M(5)) are preferentially coupled to G(q/11) and activate phospholipase C, which initiates the phosphatidylinositol trisphosphate cascade leading to intracellular ...

Muscarinic Signaling in the Brain
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2013Muscarinic signaling affects attention, action selection, learning, and memory through multiple signaling cascades, which act at different timescales and which alter ion channels in cell type–specific manners. The effects of muscarinic signaling differ between cortical layers and between brain areas.

Cross-tolerance between muscarinic agonists: Role of muscarinic receptors
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1987In order to explore the relationship between response to muscarinic agonists and brain muscarinic receptors, two mouse strains that differ in acute sensitivity (DBA and C3H) were injected chronically with DFP or infused with oxotremorine. Chronic DFP-treated DBA mice were not tolerant to DFP's effects on any measure, but they were cross-tolerant to the

A Divergent Synthesis of (+)-Muscarine and (+)-epi-Muscarine from d-Glucose
Tetrahedron, 2000Abstract A novel stereospecific synthesis of (+)-muscarine and (+)-epi-muscarine has been achieved by utilizing d -glucose as a chiral precursor. The key steps of the synthesis involved stereospecific cyclization of 3,5-di-O-sulfonyl- d -glucofuranose derivatives into the corresponding 2,5-anhydrides, and stereospecific hydrogenation of 2,5-anhydro-

Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists
2016Parasympathetic activity is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma and appears to be the major reversible component of airway obstruction. Therefore, treatment with muscarinic receptor antagonists is an effective bronchodilator therapy in COPD and also in asthmatic patients.

Muscarinic toxins: novel pharmacological tools for the muscarinic cholinergic system
Toxicon, 2000Muscarinic receptors are widely spread throughout the body, and are involved in the regulation of fundamental physiological processes, like the modulation of the heart rate, control of motor systems and modulation of learning and memory. In the central nervous system the cholinergic transmission is mainly mediated by muscarinic receptors; there are ...

Abstract:The muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the urinary bladders of man, guinea pig, rat and rabbit were studied by means of a receptor binding technique, with L‐quinuclidinyl [phenyl4‐3H]benzilate, (‐)3H‐QNB, as radioligand. The potential role of the receptors in the supersensitivity of the rat bladder to muscarinic agonists, following ...
