Discovery of the first highly M5-preferring muscarinic acetylcholine receptor ligand, an M5 positive allosteric modulator derived from a series of 5-trifluoromethoxy N-benzyl isatins. [PDF]
This report describes the discovery and initial characterization of the first positive allosteric modulator of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 5 (mAChR5 or M5). Functional HTS, identified VU0119498, which displayed micromolar potencies for potentiation of acetylcholine at M1, M3, and M5 receptors in cell-based Ca(2+) mobilization assays ...

Multiple Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes Modulate Striatal Dopamine Release, as Studied with M1–M5 Muscarinic Receptor Knock-Out Mice [PDF]
A proper balance between striatal muscarinic cholinergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission is required for coordinated locomotor control. Activation of striatal muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) is known to modulate striatal dopamine release.

Expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M3 and M5 in osteoporosis [PDF]
Cholinergic signaling via muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) is known to influence various physiological functions. In bone, M3 mAChR and M5 mAChR were identified on the membrane of osteoblast-like cells. M3 mAChR seems to be particularly relevant for bone physiology, as signaling via this receptor was reported to increase bone formation and ...

Update on the Development of SUVN‐I6107: A True Positive Allosteric Modulator of the Muscarinic M1 Acetylcholine Receptor for the Treatment of Dementia [PDF]
Abstract Background SUVN‐I6107 is a novel and selective muscarinic M1 Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) being developed for the treatment of dementia due to neurodegenerative disorders. In the current research, the pharmacological properties of SUVN‐I6107 in various animal models of cognitive deficits were investigated.

Further Insights Into Anticholinergic Action Informed by Japanese Anticholinergic Risk Scale. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The increased anticholinergic burden caused by medications in older adults is one of the adverse drug reactions of particular concern, as it can exacerbate the onset of geriatric syndromes or induce cognitive dysfunction, and is also related to the issue of polypharmacy.

Expression Profiles of Neuropeptides, Neurotransmitters, and Their Receptors in Human Keratocytes In Vitro and In Situ. [PDF]
Keratocytes, the quiescent cells of the corneal stroma, play a crucial role in corneal wound healing. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters are usually associated with neuronal signaling, but have recently been shown to be produced also by non-neuronal ...
