The Takeda brain-penetrant M1R positive allosteric modulator (PAM), TAK-071, was optimized for lower cooperativity (α) with the native ligand to theoretically reduce the side effect of diarrhea from M1R activation. In animal models, higher cooperativity on M1R was associated with diarrhea, while lower cooperativity led to a wider margin. In [...]
