Biochem/physiol Actions

Iperoxo forms an important building block for the class of G protein-coupled receptors modulators. Iperoxo specifically binds to the orthosteric site of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. It has a higher efficacy than the endogenous agonist acetylcholine.
Iperoxo is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor superagonist. The pEC50 values for G-protein activation by acetylcholine and iperoxo in CHO cells expressing recombinant human M2 receptors are 7.6 and 10.1, respectively.

Light-triggered reversible modulation of physiological functions offers the promise of enabling on-demand spatiotemporally controlled therapeutic interventions. Optogenetics has been successfully implemented in the heart, but significant barriers to its use in the clinic remain, such as the need for genetic

In this study, we synthesized and tested in vitro and in vivo two groups of bis(ammonio)alkane-type compounds, 6a-9a and 6b-9b, which incorporate the orthosteric muscarinic agonist iperoxo into a molecular fragment of the M2-selective allosteric modulators W84 and naphmethonium. The

Artificial agonists may have higher efficacy for receptor activation than the physiological agonist. Until now, such 'superagonism' has rarely been reported for GPCRs. Iperoxo is an extremely potent muscarinic receptor agonist. We hypothesized that iperoxo is a 'superagonist'. Signalling of

The M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M2R) is a prototypical GPCR that plays important roles in regulating heart rate and CNS functions. Crystal structures provide snapshots of the M2R in inactive and active states, but the allosteric link between the ligand
