Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are acetylcholine receptors that form G protein-coupled receptor complexes in the cell membranes of certain neurons [1] and other cells. They play several roles, including acting as the main end-receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibers .
NS-136 is a selective muscarinic acetylcholine M 4 receptor positive allosteric modulator which is under development for the treatment of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. [1] [3] [2] It has been found to possess pro-cognitive effects in rodents. [2] The drug is under development by NeuShen Therapeutics.
A muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, also simply known as a muscarinic agonist or as a muscarinic agent, is an agent that activates the activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. [1] The muscarinic receptor has different subtypes, labelled M1-M5, allowing for further differentiation.
Along with the earlier drugs PD-0298029 and PD-102,807, NBI-1076968 is among the only selective M 4 receptor antagonists to have been developed to date. [3] However, in contrast to NBI-1076968, the earlier selective antagonists have not had optimal drug-like properties for development as pharmaceutical drugs.
Xanomeline is an agonist that primarily targets the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor family of five muscarinic receptor subtypes, which are designated M 1-M 5. [2] While it binds with near identical affinity to all five of the muscarinic receptor subtypes as measured by displacement of a muscarinic radioligand, the preponderance of evidence suggests that xanomeline acts preferentially in the ...
Emraclidine is a positive allosteric modulator that selectively targets the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 subtype. The M4 receptor subtype is expressed in the striatum of the brain, which plays a key role in regulating acetylcholine and dopamine levels. An imbalance of these neurotransmitters has been linked to psychotic symptoms in ...
Preclinical data supports the hypothesis that xanomeline's central mechanism of action is mediated primarily through stimulation of brain muscarinic M 4 and M 1 receptors. [5] M 4 muscarinic receptors are most highly expressed in the midbrain, which controls motor and action planning, decision-making, motivation, reinforcement, and reward ...
