In Vivo Evaluation of Psoralen in a Copper Sulfate–Induced Chick (Gallus gallus domesticus) Emesis Model and In Silico Analysis of Its Interaction With D2, 5‐HT3A, and Muscarinic Receptors

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
Psoralen (PSN) demonstrates significant dose‐dependent antiemetic activity in a copper sulfate–induced chick emesis model. Integrated in vivo and in silico analyses reveal reduced retching frequency, prolonged latency, and favorable multi‐receptor interactions with D2, 5‐HT3A, and muscarinic receptors, highlighting PSN as a promising multi‐target ...

Gene expression of muscarinic, tachykinin and purinergic receptors in porcine bladder: comparison with cultured cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Urothelial cells, myofibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells are important cell types contributing to bladder function. Multiple receptors including muscarinic (M3/M5), tachykinin (NK1/NK2) and purinergic (P2X1/P2Y6) receptors are involved in bladder motor ...

Redirecting Alzheimer's disease therapeutics: Multitarget drugs and complementary non‐pharmacological strategies

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder driven by intersecting pathological processes. Persistent attrition in AD drug‐development pipelines highlights the limited clinical impact of single‐target therapies and has increased interest in multi‐target approaches acting on shared biological hubs.

Microscopic Binding of M5 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor with Antagonists by Homology Modeling, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation [PDF]

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2011
By performing homology modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we have developed three-dimensional (3D) structural models of the M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) and two complexes for M5 mAChR binding with antagonists SVT-40776 and solifenacin in the environment of lipid bilayer and solvent water.

Regulation of Src family kinases by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in heterologous cells and neurons

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Five muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor subtypes are divided into two classes: the M1 class (M1, M3, and M5) and the M2 class (M2 and M4). The former is coupled to Gq proteins, while the latter is coupled to Gi/o proteins.

The GPCR Connection: Linking Alzheimer's Disease and Glioblastoma

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are biologically distinct age‐related brain disorders with opposing clinical phenotypes. AD is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, whereas GBM is characterised by aggressive cellular proliferation and a poor prognosis.

Repositioning VU‐0365114 as a novel microtubule‐destabilizing agent for treating cancer and overcoming drug resistance

Molecular Oncology
Microtubule‐targeting agents represent one of the most successful classes of anticancer agents. However, the development of drug resistance and the appearance of adverse effects hamper their clinical implementation.

Cellular responses to stimulation of the M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor as seen in murine L cells.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1990
The membrane signaling properties of the neuronal type-5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M5 AChR) as expressed in murine L cells were studied. Recipient Ltk- cells responded to ATP acting through a P2-purinergic receptor by increasing phosphoinositide hydrolysis 2-fold but were unresponsive to 17 receptor agonists that are stimulatory in other cells.

Reduced Cocaine Self-Administration in Muscarinic M₅Acetylcholine Receptor-Deficient Mice [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2005
The reinforcing effects of cocaine have been related to increased extracellular concentrations of dopamine in the ventral striatum. Several studies suggest that M5muscarinic receptors facilitate striatal dopamine release. We tested the hypothesis that the reinforcing effects of cocaine are decreased in M5receptor-deficient mice using chronic ...

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 4, Page 1531-1546, 15 February 2026.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...
