Biochem/physiol Actions

VU0238429 is a selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 5 (M5) positive allosteric modulator; causes leftward shift in acetylcholine potency. M5 is thought to regulate cerebral blood flow, and activation of M5 may be therapeutic for Alzheimer′s disease. VU0238429 is the first reported M5-selective small molecule of any kind. It is >30-fold more selective for M5 over M1, M2, M3, and M4.

We have recently identified a cholinergic chemosensory cell in the urethral epithelium, urethral brush cell (UBC), that, upon stimulation with bitter or bacterial substances, initiates a reflex detrusor activation. Here, we elucidated cholinergic mechanisms that modulate UBC responsiveness. We analyzed
