VU-0152100 is a positive modulator of the M4 receptor, [1] one of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
In mice, VU-0152100 is able to decrease self-administration of cocaine, this is thought to come from the M4 receptor's action on D1 containing dopaminergic neurons. [2] It is also able to almost completely inhibit the hyperactivity caused by cocaine. [3] Another study has shown that this drug is able to reverse hyperlocomotion induced by amphetamine, in an anti-psychotic-like manner. [4] This data suggests that it could potentially be developed as a treatment for stimulant abuse.
