Identification of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype mediating cholinergic vasodilation in murine retinal arterioles.

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2011
PURPOSE To identify the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype that mediates cholinergic vasodilation in murine retinal arterioles. METHODS Muscarinic receptor gene expression was determined in murine retinal arterioles using real-time PCR.

Molecular Tools to Study and Control Dopaminergic Neurotransmission With Light

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 1407-1422, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Dopaminergic neurotransmission is involved in several important brain functions, such as motor control, learning, reward‐motivated behavior, and emotions. Dysfunctions of dopaminergic system may lead to the development of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, like Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, and addictions ...

β3‐Adrenoceptor Agonist Effects on the Urinary Bladder Beyond Detrusor Relaxation

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 1498-1502, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aims β3‐Adrenoceptor agonists such as mirabegron or vibegron reach pharmacokinetic steady‐state within a few days. However, maximum improvements in symptoms of the overactive bladder syndrome are reached at time points later than 4 weeks, that is, detrusor smooth muscle relaxation cannot fully explain clinical effects.

Synthesis and pharmacological profiling of analogues of benzyl quinolone carboxylic acid (BQCA) as allosteric modulators of the M1 muscarinic receptor [PDF]

, 2013
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.

The Clinical Significance of the Subtypes of Detrusor Overactivity: A Systematic Review

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 1484-1490, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Detrusor overactivity (DO) is the “occurrence of detrusor contraction(s) during filling cystometry” [7] and can be “phasic” or “terminal” [26]. The aim of this systematic review was to establish whether there is any clinical significance between the different subtypes of DO in terms of demographics, underlying pathophysiology ...

Molecular Conversion of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M5 to Muscarinic Toxin 7 (MT7)-Binding Protein

Toxins, 2011
Muscarinic toxin 7 (MT7) is a mamba venom peptide that binds selectively to the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. We have previously shown that the second (ECL2) and third (ECL3) extracellular loops of the M1 receptor are critically involved in ...

Characterisation of the novel quinoline RCD405: Relaxant effects on cholinergic and histaminergic tone in human bronchi and small airways

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 17, Page 4122-4133, September 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Increased contractility of human airway smooth muscle (hASM) is a hallmark of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Developing new classes of bronchodilators has proved to be challenging because of efficacy and safety concerns.

Acetylcholine release and inhibitory interneuron activity in hippocampal CA1

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014
Acetylcholine release in the central nervous system (CNS) has an important role in attention, recall and memory formation. One region influenced by acetylcholine is the hippocampus, which receives inputs from the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca ...

GPCR‐G protein signalling and its mutational landscape in cancer—Driver or passenger

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 17, Page 3975-3989, September 2025.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cellular signalling, regulating various physiological processes. Abnormal expression and mutations of GPCRs have been implicated in several types of cancer, influencing tumour initiation, progression and immune response.
