Chemistry:VU-0152100

From HandWiki

VU-0152100 is a positive modulator of the M4 receptor,[1] one of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

Treatment of stimulant addiction

In mice, VU-0152100 is able to decrease self-administration of cocaine, this is thought to come from the M4 receptor's action on D1 containing dopaminergic neurons.[2] It is also able to almost completely inhibit the hyperactivity caused by cocaine.[3] Another study has shown that this drug is able to reverse hyperlocomotion induced by amphetamine, in an anti-psychotic-like manner.[4] This data suggests that it could potentially be developed as a treatment for stimulant abuse.
