The Development of Novel Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Ligands as Potential Antipsychotic Agents

This thesis develops new drug-like tool compounds that act on specific brain targets linked to severe mental illness, particularly schizophrenia. It identifies promising chemical tools that may reduce hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive symptoms, with fewer side effects than current treatments. This research supports the development of safer and more effective antipsychotic medications.<p></p>
