VU6005806 is a potent positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype 4 (M4) (EC50s: 94 nM, 28 nM, 87 nM, and 68 nM for human, rat, dog, and cyno M4, respectively), and used in the study of neuropsychiatric disorders.
VU0467485 is a potent and selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 4 positive allosteric modulator. VU0467485 potentiates the activity of ACh at M4 (EC50s: 26.6 nM and 78.8 nM at the rat and human M4receptors, respectively). VU0467485 displays selecti
Methoctramine is a selective antagonist of M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (IC50 = 6.1 nM in CHO-K1 cell membranes).[1] It is selective for M2 over M1, M3, M4, and M5 receptors (IC50s = 92, 770, 260, and 217 nM, respectively). In vitro, methoctramine inhibits acetylcholine-induced reductions in isolated guinea pig tracheal tube contractions when used at a concentration of 1 μM.[2] In vivo, methoctramine inhibits bradycardia and bronchoconstriction induced by acetylcholinein guinea pigs with ED50 values of 38 and 81 nmol kg, respectively. In a rat model of spinal cord injury, methoctramine suppresses bladder overactivity induced by the non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist oxotremorine M.[3]
