    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.
