Inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonists in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
In 2002, the first long-acting muscarinic antagonist, tiotropium bromide (Spiriva®), was launched as a once-daily bronchodilating agent for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Pathophysiology and emerging treatments for dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria
This review illustrates key proposed mast cell‐mediated activation pathways in dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria, highlighting IgE‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms. These pathways are increasingly targeted by emerging drugs, aiming to interrupt mast cell activation and mediator release, offering more precise, mechanism‐based treatment ...

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Muscarinic receptor subtypes - search for selective agonists and antagonists
Since the late eighties five muscarinic receptor subtypes (m1 - m5) have been cloned and four of them (M1 - M4) have also been pharmacologically characterized. However, there is still a lack of potent muscarinic agonists and antagonists, which are highly
