Molecular Mechanisms of Bitopic Ligand Engagement with the M1 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor [PDF]
Background: Bitopic ligands bind concomitantly to orthosteric and allosteric receptor sites. Results: Residues affecting binding and biased signaling of the selective agonists TBPB and 77-LH-28-1 were identified at the M1 muscarinic receptor. Conclusion:

Enhancing remyelination in multiple sclerosis via M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is growing in prevalence; yet, treatments that can reverse the progression of the disease are still needed. One strategy that has shown promise for reversing MS is remyelination by inhibiting the M1 receptor, a member of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) family.

Enhanced muscarinic M1 receptor gene expression in the corpus striatum of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [PDF]
Acetylcholine (ACh), the first neurotransmitter to be identified, regulate the activities of central and peripheral functions through interactions with muscarinic receptors. Changes in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) have been implicated in the
