Xanomeline
Xanomeline is a selective muscarinic M1/M4 receptor agonist that activates central muscarinic receptors in the prefrontal cortex and striatum, enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission in circuits relevant to cognition, psychosis, and mood regulation. It is under investigation for Alzheimer's disease (cognitive improvement) and schizophrenia (antipsychotic effects without dopamine blockade), and was combined with the peripheral muscarinic antagonist trospium to reduce systemic side effects in the KarXT formulation approved for schizophrenia. Its mechanism represents a novel approach to treating psychosis through central muscarinic agonism rather than dopamine antagonism.
