The muscarinic M4 acetylcholine receptor exacerbates symptoms of movement disorders

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2023
Barbeau's seesaw hypothesis of dopamine-acetylcholine balance has predominated movement disorders literature for years. Both the simplicity of the explanation and the matching efficacy of anticholinergic treatment in movement disorders seem to support this hypothesis.

Spirocyclic Diamine Scaffolds for Medicinal Chemistry

open access: yesHelvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 1, January 2026.
Here we enumerated 391 spirocyclic diamine drug scaffolds with ring sizes four to eight and found that most of them are unknown. We prepared four novel such spirocycles and discovered a micromolar inhibitor of the M4 muscarinic receptor. ABSTRACT Medicinal chemistry requires the exploration of structurally diverse compound families to expand the ...

IUPHAR Review on muscarinic M1 and M4 receptors as drug treatment targets relevant to the molecular pathology of schizophrenia

open access: yesPharmacological Research
Cobenfy, a co-formulation of xanomeline and trospium, is the first drug not acting on the dopaminergic system of the CNS approved for the treatment of schizophrenia by the FDA.

Autoantibodies against muscarinic receptors in breast cancer. Its role in tumor angiogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The presence of autoantibodies in cancer has become relevant in recent years. We demonstrated that autoantibodies purified from the sera of breast cancer patients activate muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in tumor cells.

Neurons in a Dish: A Review of In Vitro Cell Models for Studying Neurogenesis

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 1, January 2026.
Different in vitro cell models are valuable to study the different steps of neurogenesis, from the proliferation of neural stem and progenitor cells to the maturation of neurons. Pluripotent stem cells (including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells), immortalized human neuroblastoma cell lines (SH‐SY5Y, IMR‐32), and primary brain ...

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 and M3 subtypes mediate acetylcholine-induced endothelium-independent vasodilatation in rat mesenteric arteries

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2016
The present study investigated pharmacological characterizations of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) subtypes involving ACh-induced endothelium-independent vasodilatation in rat mesenteric arteries.

Modulation of c-Jun NH2-Terminal (JNK) by Cholinergic Autoantibodies from Patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients ...

Activation of Muscarinic M1 Acetylcholine Receptors Induces Long-Term Potentiation in the Hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Muscarinic M1 acetylcholine receptors (M1Rs) are highly expressed in the hippocampus, and their inhibition or ablation disrupts the encoding of spatial memory.

Blockade of M4 muscarinic receptors on striatal cholinergic interneurons normalizes striatal dopamine release in a mouse model of TOR1A dystonia

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2022
Trihexyphenidyl (THP), a non-selective muscarinic receptor (mAChR) antagonist, is commonly used for the treatment of dystonia associated with TOR1A, otherwise known as DYT1 dystonia.

Muscarinic receptor oligomerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
