A growing understanding of the role of muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology and treatment of schizophrenia [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Pre-clinical models, postmortem and neuroimaging studies all support a role for muscarinic receptors in the molecular pathology of schizophrenia. From these data it was proposed that activation of the muscarinic M1 and/or M4 receptor would reduce the ...

Agonist-selective activation of individual G-proteins by muscarinic receptors [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Selective activation of individual subtypes of muscarinic receptors is a promising way to safely alleviate a wide range of pathological conditions in the central nervous system and the periphery as well.

Neuromodulation of Persistent Activity and Working Memory Circuitry in Primate Prefrontal Cortex by Muscarinic Receptors

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Neuromodulation by acetylcholine plays a vital role in shaping the physiology and functions of cerebral cortex. Cholinergic neuromodulation influences brain-state transitions, controls the gating of cortical sensory stimulus responses, and has been shown

Characterization of Bladder Selectivity of Antimuscarinic Agents on the Basis of Drug-Receptor Binding [PDF]

International Neurourology Journal, 2012
The in vivo muscarinic receptor binding of antimuscarinic agents (oxybutynin, solifenacin, tolterodine, and imidafenacin) used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder is reviewed.

Muscarinic receptor oligomerization [PDF]

Neuropharmacology, 2018
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been classically described as monomeric entities that function by binding in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio to both ligand and downstream signalling proteins. However, in recent years, a growing number of studies has supported the hypothesis that these receptors can interact to form dimers and higher order oligomers

Antipsychotic-like effect of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist BuTAC in non-human primates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cholinergic, muscarinic receptor agonists exhibit functional dopamine antagonism and muscarinic receptors have been suggested as possible future targets for the treatment of schizophrenia and drug abuse. The muscarinic ligand (5R,6R)-6-(3-butylthio-1,2,5-

The metronomic combination of paclitaxel with cholinergic agonists inhibits triple negative breast tumor progression. Participation of M2 receptor subtype

PLoS ONE, 2020
Triple negative tumors are more aggressive than other breast cancer subtypes and there is a lack of specific therapeutic targets on them. Since muscarinic receptors have been linked to tumor progression, we investigated the effect of metronomic therapy ...

Muscarinic receptor binding of fesoterodine, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, and tolterodine in rat tissues after the oral, intravenous, or intravesical administration

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2019
The present study aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor binding of fesoterodine, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), and tolterodine in bladder and other tissues of rats after their oral, intravenous, or intravesical administration.

Direct in vitro and in vivo demonstration of muscarinic receptor binding by the novel radioligand, [3H]5-hydroxymethyltolterodine, in the bladder and other tissues of rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
In vitro and in vivo binding sites of [3H]-labeled 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine (5-HMT), a new radioligand for labeling muscarinic receptors in rat tissues were characterized.

Distribution and effects of the muscarinic receptor subtypes in the primary visual cortex

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2015
Muscarinic cholinergic receptors modulate the activity and plasticity of the visual cortex. Muscarinic receptors are divided into 5 subtypes that are not homogeneously distributed throughout the cortical layers and cells types.
