Therapeutic potential of small molecules that block receptor‐induced Kv7/M‐current suppression in neuroprotection, seizures, and pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3780-3795, July 2026.
Receptor‐induced Kv7/M‐current suppression increases neuronal activity and contributes to pathology of several conditions. A new class of Kv7 modulators identified in this study attenuates M‐current suppression and shows therapeutic effects. Abstract Background and Purpose Neuronal Kv7 channels generate low voltage–gated potassium currents known as the

Cation channel activated by muscarinic agonists on porcine adrenal chromaffin cells

, 1995
A large portion (70%) of the secretory response to muscarinic agonists in porcine adrenal chromaffin cells has previously been shown to be dependent on extracellular Ca2+ (Xu et al., J. Neurochem. 56: 1899-1896, 1991).

Drugs that act on both G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and kinases: potentiation of effects, side effects and general aspects of drug pleiotropy

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3471-3483, July 2026.
Abstract Background A drug designed for a specific target often interacts with multiple targets, either unintentionally or as part of its intended mechanism of action. This has been called pharmacological pleiotropy or polypharmacology. There are key endogenous ligands such as ATP, GABA and glutamate that act on various proteins in humans. Furthermore,

Bile acids differentially regulate longitudinal smooth muscle contractility in everted mouse ileum

FASEB BioAdvances
Bile acids regulate gastrointestinal motility by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Standard isolated tissue bath assays might not recapitulate in vivo physiology if contractile responses to certain bile acids require direct application to the ...

Don't Sweat It: Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Reduce Sweating in a Mouse Model

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
A new galvanic skin response‐based approach offers a simple method for measuring sweating in the paws of mice. This method is used to demonstrate that cannabinoid CB1 receptors reduce baseline sweating in mice, likely via inhibition of sympathetic acetylcholine release via axonal CB1 receptors.

Effect of novel N-aryl sulfonamide substituted 3-morpholino arecoline derivatives as muscarinic receptor 1 agonists in Alzheimer’s dementia models

, 2008
A series of novel, potent, and selective muscarinic receptor 1 agonists (M1 receptor agonists) that employ a key N-substituted morpholine Arecoline moiety has been synthesized as part of research effort for the therapy of Alzheimer’s diseases.

Muscarinic acetylcholine type 1 receptor antagonism activates TRPM3 to augment mitochondrial function and drive axonal repair in adult sensory neurons

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: Antagonism of the muscarinic acetylcholine type 1 receptor (M1R) promotes sensory axon repair and is protective in peripheral neuropathy, however, the mechanism remains elusive.

Mechanical properties of the compass depressors of the sea-urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Echinodermata, Echinoidea) and the effects of enzymes, neurotransmitters and synthetic tensilin-like protein.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The compass depressors (CDs) of the sea-urchin lantern are ligaments consisting mainly of discontinuous collagen fibrils associated with a small population of myocytes. They are mutable collagenous structures, which can change their mechanical properties

Microbial Metabolite‐Stimulated Bitter Taste Receptor T2R14 Signaling Is Modulated by CFTR Interactions

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) play an important role in physiological and cellular responses. Bitter tasting chemicals and microbial metabolites can bind to T2R14, which enables interactions between T2R14 and specific intracellular domains of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel.
