Dioxane and oxathiane nuclei: Suitable substructures for muscarinic agonists

open access: yesBioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry, 2007
Muscarinic agonists, bearing 1,4-dioxane and 1,4-oxathiane nuclei, were synthesized and tested to evaluate their potency at M(1)-M(4) muscarinic receptor subtypes. The stereochemical relationship between the 2-side chain and the 6-methyl group plays an important role in drug-receptor interaction, since the cis isomers are more potent than the ...

New functionally selective muscarinic agonists

open access: yesLife Sciences, 1993
The muscarinic pharmacology of two novel agonists related to McN-A-343, 4-F-PyMcN and 4-F-PyMcN+, has been studied by the use of pharmacological and radioligand binding techniques. Both compounds were potent agonists at M1 receptors in rabbit vas deferens (pEC50 = 6.24 and 6.96) and rat duodenum (pEC50 = 5.47 and 6.38), but very weak partial agonists ...

Muscarinic agonists in Alzheimer's disease

Life Sciences, 1997
As therapeutic agents, M1 agonists in the short-term may palliate symptoms of AD and improve memory function. In the long-term, M1 agonists have the potential to modify the underlying pathophysiology of AD, and thereby prevent or retard the course of dementia.

Muscarinic M1 receptor agonist actions of muscarinic receptor agonists in rabbit vas deferens

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1993
In the electrically field-stimulated rabbit vas deferens, muscarinic receptor agonists increase twitch-height by actions at postjunctional M2 receptors and decrease twitch-height by actions at prejunctional M1 receptors. In the present studies, in contrast to previous reports, muscarinic receptor agonists primarily decreased twitch-height, produced ...

Use of Muscarinic Agonists in the Treatment of Sjögren's Syndrome

Clinical Immunology, 2001
Two muscarinic agonists (pilocarpine and cevimeline) have recently been approved for the treatment of symptoms of xerostomia in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). These agents stimulate the M1 and M3 receptors present on salivary glands, leading to increased secretory function. The use of these agents emphasizes the importance of neuroendocrine mechanisms in SS,

Muscarinic Agonists and Antagonists: Effects on the Urinary Bladder

open access: yes, 2011
Voiding of the bladder is the result of a parasympathetic muscarinic receptor activation of the detrusor smooth muscle. However, the maintenance of continence and a normal bladder micturition cycle involves a complex interaction of cholinergic, adrenergic, nitrergic and peptidergic systems that is currently little understood.

Differential Rho-kinase dependency of full and partial muscarinic receptor agonists in airway smooth muscle contraction

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2006
1 In airway smooth muscle (ASM), full and partial muscarinic receptor agonists have been described to have large differences in their ability to induce signal transduction, including Ca2+-mobilization.
