Abstract
Rigid analogs of acetylcholine offer an opportunity for selective actions at muscarinic receptor subtypes, since restricted conformational mobility alters the capacity of ligands to adapt to subtle differences in receptor structure. AF102B, a highly rigid analog of acetylcholine, is a centrally active M1 agonist and is evaluated in light of some currently available therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's disease.
