Funded Activity Summary

Discovering novel allosteric probes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. This project aims at fostering novel approaches to selectively target vital receptors in the human body, the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). By harnessing the design of receptor mutations, compounds synthesis and fluorescent imaging, the project expects to develop new pharmacological tools for a family of receptors essential for the life of all vertebrates. By enriching our understanding of this family of receptor, the project expects to provide significant benefits to the research field by impacting on future drug discovery efforts, not only at mAChRs, but at other structurally related receptors.
