This study investigated the reciprocal cross-interactions between two distinct allosteric sites on the M(4) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) in the absence or presence of different orthosteric ligands. Initial studies revealed that two novel benzimidazole allosteric modulators, 17-beta-hydroxy-17-alpha-ethy nyl-delta(4)-androstano[3,2-b]pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole (WIN 62,577) and 17-...
M2 receptors have long been believed to be the only functional subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) in the heart, although recent studies have provided evidence for the presence of other subtypes. We performed a detailed study to clarify this issue. In the presence of tetramethylammonium (1 microM to 10 mM), a novel K+ current with both delayed rectifying and inward rectifying p...
We recently described 3-amino-5-chloro-6-methoxy-4-methylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid cyclopropylamide (LY2033298) as a novel allosteric modulator of M(4) muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (mAChRs) on the basis of its ability to preferentially potentiate the actions of ACh at the M(4) mAChR subtype. In the current study, we show that LY2033298 can also bind to the M(2) mAChR a...
Previous clinical and animal studies suggest that selective activators of M(1) and/or M(4) muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) have potential as novel therapeutic agents for treatment of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. However, highly selective centrally penetrant activators of either M(1) or M(4) have not been available, making it impossible to determine the in vivo effects of s...
Muscarinic receptor-induced changes in the activities of phospholipase D (PLD) and of phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) were investigated in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells transfected with, and stably expressing, the human m1, m2, m3, and m4 mAChR subtypes, respectively. PLD and PI-PLC activities in these four transfected cell lines as well as in nontransfected cells were measured b...
Carbachol (Cch), a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist, increases intracellular-free Ca(2+) mobilization and induces mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) phosphorylation in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Pretreatment of cells with the selective phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U73122, or incubation of cells in a Ca(2+)-free medium did ...
Antimuscarinic drugs affect bladder sensory symptoms such as urgency and frequency, presumably by acting on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) located in bladder sensory pathways including primary afferent nerves and urothelium. However, the expression and the function of these receptors are not well understood. This study investigated the role of mAChRs in bladder sensory pathways in ...
Insect vector-borne diseases remain one of the principal causes of human mortality. In addition to conventional measures of insect control, repellents continue to be the mainstay for personal protection. Because of the increasing pyrethroid-resistant mosquito populations, alternative strategies to reconstitute pyrethroid repellency and knock-down effects have been proposed by mixing the repelle...
Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of the M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) represent a novel approach for the treatment of psychotic symptoms associated with schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. We recently reported that the selective M4 PAM VU0152100 produced an antipsychotic drug-like profile in rodents after amphetamine challenge. Previous studies suggest that e...
