Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonists Under Investigational to Treat Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]
Introduction Bronchodilators are the cornerstone of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) therapy and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) as a mono or combination treatment play a pivotal role.

The muscarinic antagonists scopolamine and atropine are competitive antagonists at 5-HT3 receptors. [PDF]
Scopolamine is a high affinity muscarinic antagonist that is used for the prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are used for the same purpose and are structurally related to scopolamine. To examine whether 5-HT3 receptors are affected by scopolamine we examined the effects of this drug on the electrophysiological ...

Investigating the Unbinding of Muscarinic Antagonists from the Muscarinic 3 Receptor. [PDF]
Patient symptom relief is often heavily influenced by the residence time of the inhibitor-target complex. For the human muscarinic receptor 3 (hMR3), tiotropium is a long-acting bronchodilator used in conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The mechanistic insights into this inhibitor remain unclear; specifically, the

Positioning of Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonists in the Management of Asthma. [PDF]
Despite a range of efficacious therapies for asthma, including inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting β2-agonists (LABA), a significant proportion of patients have poor asthma control and retain a risk of future worsening of their symptoms.

Inhaled corticosteroids with combination inhaled long-acting beta2-agonists and long-acting muscarinic antagonists for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly involves long-acting bronchodilators including beta-agonists (LABA) and muscarinic antagonists (LAMA).

The Impact of Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists on Airway Inflammation: A Systematic Review
Long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonists (LAMAs) are the cornerstone for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); furthermore, tiotropium is approved as add-on therapy in severe asthmatic patients.
