Muscarinic receptor agonists are characterized by apparently strict restraints on their tertiary or quaternary amine and their distance to an ester or related center. On the basis of the active state crystal structure of the muscarinic M<sub>2</sub> receptor in complex with iperoxo, we explored potential agonists that lacked the highly conserved functionalities of previously known ligands. Using structure-guided pharmacophore design followed by docking, we found two agonists (compounds 3 and 17) ...[more]
