Background:

CDD0102 is a potent M1 Muscarinic receptor agonist.

CDD0102 (CDD-0102) is an efficacious muscarinic agonist in cell lines expressing M1 receptors. CDD0102 displays much lower activity at M3 and M5 receptors[1].

After i.p. injections, CDD0102 (CDD-0102) crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in a dose-dependent manner. In toxicological studies, the LD50 of CDD0102 is 190 mg/kg following i.p. injections and greater than 1,000 mg/kg following oral administration. In follow-up studies, after oral administration at a dose of 10 mg/kg, CDD0102 fully reverses memory deficits associated with IgG-192 saporin administration. Again, no side effects are observed at this dose[1].
