  • EC50, eliciting 50% of the maximal response of an endogenous ligand, acetylcholine (ACh), reflects the agonistic activity for M1R under conditions without ACh; IP, inflection point (PAM potency for M1-M5R, which is determined from titration of PAM in the presence of a low concentration of acetylcholine (ACh), eliciting 20% of the maximal ACh response; M1R, M1 muscarinic receptor; N/A, not available; PAM, positive allosteric modulator.
