Mechanisms of Pilocarpine‐Induced Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandin Production in Porcine Ciliary Muscle [PDF]
FASEB BioAdvancesPilocarpine, a muscarinic receptor agonist, is clinically used to reduce intraocular pressure via ciliary muscle contraction. However, the intracellular signaling pathways mediating pilocarpine‐induced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ...

Multitargeting nature of muscarinic orthosteric agonists and antagonists
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Muscarinic receptors (mAChRs) are typical members of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and exist in five subtypes from M1 to M5. Muscarinic receptor subtypes do not sufficiently differ in affinity to orthosteric antagonists or agonists ...

Muscarinic Receptor Agonists and Antagonists [PDF]
Molecules, 2001 A comprehensive review of pharmacological and medical aspects of the muscarinic class of acetylcholine agonists and antagonists is presented. The therapeutic benefits of achieving receptor subtype selectivity are outlined and applications in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease are discussed.

Additive interaction of intrathecal ginsenosides and neostigmine in the rat formalin test [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013 BackgroundThe authors evaluated the effect of intrathecal mixture of ginsenosides with neostigmine on formalin-induced nociception and made further clear the role of the spinal muscarinic (M) receptors on the activity of ginsenosides.MethodsA catheter ...

Effects of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors on contextual modulation in macaque area V1
Scientific Reports, 2021 Context affects the salience and visibility of image elements in visual scenes. Collinear flankers can enhance or decrease the perceptual and neuronal sensitivity to flanked stimuli. These effects are mediated through lateral interactions between neurons

Distinct agonist regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine M2-M3 heteromers and their corresponding homomers [PDF]
, 2015 Each subtype of the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors is activated by similar concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or closely related synthetic analogs such as carbachol. However, pharmacological selectivity can be
