Journal, Adverse events: T-495, a novel low cooperative M receptor positive allosteric modulator, improves memory deficits associated with cholinergic dysfunction and is characterized by low gastrointestinal side effect risk. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 27, 2020 Here, we describe the pharmacological characteristics of a novel low cooperative M R PAM T-495 (α-value of 170), using the clinically tested higher cooperative M R PAM MK-7622 (α-value of 511) as a control...Additionally, in mice with reduced acetylcholine levels in the forebrain via overexpression of A53T α-synuclein (ie, a mouse model of dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease with dementia), T-495, like donepezil, reversed the memory deficits in the contextual fear conditioning test and Y-maze task. Thus, low cooperative M R PAMs are promising agents for the treatment of memory deficits associated with cholinergic dysfunction.

Clinical, Journal: A novel M1 PAM VU0486846 exerts efficacy in cognition models without displaying agonist activity or cholinergic toxicity. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 These findings further strengthen the argument that compounds with modest in vitro M1 PAM activity (EC50s > 100 nM) and pure-PAM activity in native tissues display robust pro-cognitive efficacy without AEs mediated by excessive activation of M1. Overall, the combination of compound assessment with recombinant in vitro assays (mindful of receptor reserve), native tissue systems (PFC), and phenotypic screens (behavioral convulsions) is essential to fully understand and evaluate lead compounds and enhance success in clinical development.

Preclinical, Journal: Preclinical to Human Translational Pharmacology of the Novel MPositive Allosteric Modulator MK-7622. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 16, 2019 Additionally, there were differences in the spectral power changes produced by MK-7622 in rhesus vs. human. In sum, these results are the first to demonstrate translation of preclinical cognition and target modulation to clinical effects in man for a selective M1 muscarinic receptor positive allosteric modulator.
