J Jakubík et al.

We investigated whether alcuronium, an allosteric modulator of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, can induce receptor-mediated activation of Go proteins in liposomal membranes incorporating purified M2 receptors and Go proteins and whether its action is affected by the receptor/Go protein (R/Go) ratio.
A Christopoulos et al.
Biochemical Society transactions, 32(Pt 5), 873-877 (2004-10-21)
Allosteric modulators of G-protein-coupled receptors interact with binding sites that are topographically distinct from the orthosteric site recognized by the receptor's endogenous agonist. Allosteric ligands offer a number of advantages over orthosteric drugs, including the potential for greater receptor subtype

Journal of chemical information and computer sciences, 36(5), 1018-1024 (1996-09-01)
Structurally dissimilar compounds such as alcuronium and the newly synthesized substances derived from the bisbenzyl ether TMB4 and from hexamethonium stabilize antagonist binding to M2-cholinoceptors which is indicative of an allosteric action. In order to propose a hypothesis for the
A Schröter et al.

Muscarinic M2 acetylcholine receptors contain an allosteric site that is probably located at the entrance of the ligand binding pocket above the orthosteric binding site. With the orthosteric area not occupied, allosteric agents might gain access to this site. The

Ligands that bind to the allosteric-binding sites on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors alter the conformation of the classical-binding sites of these receptors and either diminish or increase their affinity for muscarinic agonists and classical antagonists. It is not known whether the
