Muscarinic—but Not Nicotinic—Acetylcholine Receptors Mediate a Nitric Oxide-Dependent Dilation in Brain Cortical Arterioles: A Possible Role for the M5 Receptor Subtype [PDF]

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2000
Increases in cortical cerebral blood flow are induced by stimulation of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. This response is mediated in part by nitric oxide (NO) and reportedly involves both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, some of which are possibly located in the vessel wall.

Alpha‐Ketoglutarate Regulates Intestinal Motility and Health by OXGR1 in Nitrergic Neuron of Enteric Nervous System

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Intestinal health could be affected by intestinal motility, which is controlled by the enteric nervous system. In this study, we found that α‐ketoglutarate (AKG) inhibits intestinal motility and improves intestinal permeability, accompanied by an increased count of intestinal flora.

Spirocyclic Diamine Scaffolds for Medicinal Chemistry

Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Here we enumerated 391 spirocyclic diamine drug scaffolds with ring sizes four to eight and found that most of them are unknown. We prepared four novel such spirocycles and discovered a micromolar inhibitor of the M4 muscarinic receptor. ABSTRACT Medicinal chemistry requires the exploration of structurally diverse compound families to expand the ...

Further Insights Into Anticholinergic Action Informed by Japanese Anticholinergic Risk Scale

Geriatrics &Gerontology International, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

The M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor third intracellular loop regulates receptor function and oligomerization

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2010
Besides some pharmacological, biochemical and biophysical evidences support the contention that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors can form homo- and heterodimers, the existence of specific M3 and M5 muscarinic receptors oligomers in living cells is a new concept.
