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.
For example, the drug pirenzepine is a muscarinic antagonist (decreases the effect of ACh), which is much more potent at M 1 receptors than it is at other subtypes. The acceptance of the various subtypes proceeded in numerical order, therefore, earlier sources may recognize only M 1 and M 2 subtypes, [ citation needed ] while later studies ...
Drug class Muscarinic acetylcholine M 1 and M 4 receptor agonist [ 1 ] ML-007 is a selective muscarinic acetylcholine M 1 and M 4 receptor agonist which is under development for the treatment of schizophrenia , psychotic disorders , and dyskinesias .
Emraclidine (CVL-231) – M 4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator. [10] ML-007 – M 1 and M 4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. [11] NBI-1117568 (HTL 0016878) – M 4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. [12] NS-136 – M 4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor positive allosteric modulator [13]
Blarcamesine (AE-37, ANA001, ANAVEX 2-73) – sigma σ 1, muscarinic acetylcholine M 1, and ionotropic glutamate NMDA receptor agonist [78] Brilaroxazine (RP-5063, RP-5000) – dopamine D 2, D 3, D 4 receptor partial agonist, serotonin 5-HT 1A receptor agonist, serotonin 5-HT 2A, 5-HT 2B, 5-HT 7 receptor antagonist, and atypical antipsychotic [79]
According to their site of actions, cholinergic blocking drugs can be classified into two general types — antimuscarinic and antinicotinic agents. [1] Antimuscarinic agents (also known as muscarinic antagonists), including atropine and hyoscine, block acetylcholine at the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
This allows neuromuscular drugs to act on multiple sites at neuromuscular junctions, mainly as antagonists or agonists of post-junctional nicotinic receptors. [2] Neuromuscular drugs are classified into four main groups, depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and ...
Revosimeline is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist which has not been marketed at this time. [1] [2] [3] It is said to be an agonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine M 1 receptor. [3] The drug appears to be structurally distinct from earlier muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonists like milameline and xanomeline. [4]
