Flavonoids with M1 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Binding Activity [PDF]

Molecules, 2014
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-active compounds have potential for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, a series of natural and synthetic flavones and flavonols was assayed in vitro for their ability to inhibit radioligand binding at ...

Targeting the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

Neuronal Signaling, 2022
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and despite extensive research, only a few drugs are available for management of the disease.

The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype is important for retinal neuron survival in aging mice

Scientific Reports, 2019
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been implicated as potential neuroprotective targets for glaucoma. We tested the hypothesis that the lack of a single muscarinic receptor subtype leads to age-dependent neuron reduction in the retinal ganglion cell

Developing muscarinic receptor M1 classification models utilizing transfer learning and generative AI techniques [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Muscarinic receptor subtype 1 (M1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and a key pharmacological target for peripheral neuropathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, nerve agent exposures, and cognitive disorders.

Normal and Pathological Tau Uptake Mediated by M1/M3 Muscarinic Receptors Promotes Opposite Neuronal Changes

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
The microtubule associated protein tau is mainly found in the cell’s cytosol but recently it was also shown in the extracellular space. In neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), pathological tau spreads from neuron to neuron enhancing

Muscarinic M1 receptors stimulated by intracerebroventricular administration of McN-A-343 reduces the nerve injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity via GABAB receptors rather than GABAA receptors in mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
Cholinergic neurons play an important role in the higher functions of the brain, such as the memory, cognition, and nociception. However, the exact mechanism behind how the stimulation of all the muscarinic M1 receptors in the entire brain results in the

Structure and selectivity engineering of the M1 muscarinic receptor toxin complex

Science, 2020
Engineering a toxin Developing drugs that target a specific subtype in a G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) family is a major challenge. Maeda et al. examined the basis of specificity of a snake venom toxin binding to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
