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 ...

Distinct agonist regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine M2-M3 heteromers and their corresponding homomers [PDF]

, 2015
Each subtype of the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors is activated by similar concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or closely related synthetic analogs such as carbachol. However, pharmacological selectivity can be

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.

Brain muscarinic cholinergic receptors in Huntington's disease [PDF]

, 1992
Muscarinic cholinergic receptors and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity were studied in postmortem brain tissue from patients with Huntington's disease and matched control subjects.

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.

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

A photoisomerizable muscarinic antagonist. Studies of binding and of conductance relaxations in frog heart [PDF]

, 1982
These experiments employ the photoisomerizable compound, 3,3'-bis- [alpha-(trimethylammonium)methyl]azobenzene (Bis-Q), to study the response to muscarinic agents in frog myocardium. In homogenates from the heart, trans-Bis-Q blocks the binding of [3H]-N-

Long-term activation upon brief exposure to xanomleline is unique to M1 and M4 subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Xanomeline is an agonist endowed with functional preference for M1/M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. It also exhibits both reversible and wash-resistant binding to and activation of these receptors.
