mAChR
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor
mAChRs (muscarinic acetylcholine receptors) are acetylcholine receptors that form G protein-receptor complexes in the cell membranes of certainneurons and other cells. They play several roles, including acting as the main end-receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibersin the parasympathetic nervous system. mAChRs are named as such because they are more sensitive to muscarine than to nicotine. Their counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), receptor ion channels that are also important in the autonomic nervous system. Many drugs and other substances (for example pilocarpineand scopolamine) manipulate these two distinct receptors by acting as selective agonists or antagonists. Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter found extensively in the brain and the autonomic ganglia.

Talsaclidine
0 ImagesSynonyms: WAL 2014 FU free baseTalsaclidine (WAL 2014 FU) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable muscarinic M1 receptor agonist. Talsaclidine activates the sympathetic nervous system and promotes adrenal catecholamine release in vivo. Talsaclidine exhibits extensive tissue distribution, kidney-dominant excretion and brain penetration properties, and it can be used in studies related to cholinergic signaling, cognitive function and Alzheimer's disease.

Clozapine N-oxide (Standard)
0 ImagesClozapine N-oxide (Standard) is the analytical standard of Clozapine N-oxide. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Clozapine N-oxide is a major metabolite of Clozapine and a human muscarinic designer receptors (DREADDs) agonist. Clozapine N-oxide activates the DREADD receptor hM3Dq and hM4Di. Clozapine N-oxide cannot cross the blood-brain barrier[1][2][3][4]. Clozapine is a potent dopamine antagonist and also a potent and selective muscarinic M4 receptor (EC50=11 nM) agonist[5][6].

Direclidine
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-159829CAS No.: 1803346-98-6Synonyms: NBI-1117568; HTL-0016878Direclidine (NBI-1117568, HTL-0016878) is a selective orthosteric agonist targeting the muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor, exhibiting very low affinity for M1, M2, M3, and M5 receptors. It binds to the orthosteric site of the M4 receptor in a non-covalent, competitive manner. Direclidine specifically activates the M4 receptor, inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from striatal cholinergic interneurons, thereby regulating the balance of the dopaminergic system and reducing psychiatric symptoms associated with excessive dopamine release. Direclidine can improve symptoms associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and is used in research on schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
