Muscarinic Receptor Agonists and Antagonists: Effects on Cancer [PDF]
, 2011 Many epithelial and endothelial cells express a cholinergic autocrine loop in which acetylcholine acts as a growth factor to stimulate cell growth. Cancers derived from these tissues similarly express a cholinergic autocrine loop and ACh secreted by the cancer or neighboring cells interacts with M3 muscarinic receptors expressed on the cancer cells to ...

State‐dependent regulation of the Kv7.2 channel voltage sensor by QO‐58
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose KV7(KCNQ) potassium channels are key modulators of neuronal excitability, and promising targets for development of drugs for epilepsy and pain. We investigated a candidate KV7 drug, QO‐58, which has been previously described but has an unclear mechanism of action.

Muscarinic Receptors and Their Antagonists in COPD: Anti-Inflammatory and Antiremodeling Effects
Mediators of Inflammation, 2012 Muscarinic receptors are expressed by most cell types and mediate cellular signaling of their natural ligand acetylcholine. Thereby, they control numerous central and peripheral physiological organ responses to neuronal activity.

The Modulation Of Detrusor Contractility By Agents Influencing Ion Channel Activity
European Pharmaceutical Journal, 2018 Background: This study specified the role of several significant ion channels regulating the metabolism of calcium ions in contraction and relaxation of human detrusor muscle in order to identify possible target for future drugs that are capable of ...

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Central to the development of novel antiseizure medications (ASMs) is testing of antiseizure activity in preclinical models. Although various well‐established models exist, their predictive validity across the spectrum of clinical epilepsies has been less clear.

Respiratory dysfunction and fatal apnea during pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is second only to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy as a cause of seizure‐related mortality. The progression of respiratory dysfunction during experimental SE remains poorly characterized. We investigated how pilocarpine‐induced SE affects respiration in mice.
