Cevimeline M1 Saliva Excretion Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Cevimeline is a muscarinic agonist with parasympathomimetic activities that is used for the symptomatic treatment of dry mouth in patients with Sjögren's Syndrome. It is administered as an oral tablet and can be found under the brand name Evoxac. Cevimeline is a parasympathomimetic agent that act as an agonist at the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M1 and M3. Muscarinic agonists in sufficient dosage can increase secretion of exocrine glands, such as salivary and sweat glands and increase tone of the smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. The M1 receptors are common in secretory glands (exocrine glands such as salivary and sweat glands), and their activation results in an increase in secretion from the secretory glands. Therefore, as saliva excretion is increased, the symptoms of dry mouth are relieved.

Cevimeline M3 Salivary Gland Smooth Muscle Contraction Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Cevimeline is a muscarinic agonist with parasympathomimetic activities that is used for the symptomatic treatment of dry mouth in patients with Sjögren's Syndrome. It can be found under the brand name Evoxac. Cevimeline is a parasympathomimetic agent that act as an agonist at the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors M1 and M3. Muscarinic agonists such as cevimeline bind and activate the muscarinic M1 and M3 receptors. The M1 receptors are common in secretory glands (exocrine glands such as salivary and sweat glands), and their activation results in an increase in secretion from the secretory glands. The M3 receptors are found on smooth muscles and in many glands which help to stimulate secretion in salivary glands, and their activation generally results in smooth muscle contraction and increased glandular secretions. Therefore, as saliva excretion is increased, the symptoms of dry mouth are relieved. Salivary secretion is largely dependent upon the activation of acinar cell fluid transport, achieved through intracellular formation of inositol triphosphate and elevated calcium concentration and activation of ion transporting proteins. Sustained salivary secretion requires influx of extracellular calcium across the plasma membrane of acinar cells, which is referred to as store-operated calcium entry. Possible side effects of using Civimeline may include bladder pain, body aches, and difficulty breathing.

CHILD SyndromeMus musculus
CHILD Syndrome, (Congenital Hemidysplasia with Icthyosiform Erythroderma and Limb Defects; Ichthyosiform Eruthroderma, Unilateral, with Epsilateral Malformations, Especially Absence Deformity of Limbs) is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding NADH steroid dehydrogenase-like protein (NSDHL). A defect in sterol-4 alpha-carboxylate 3-dehydrogenase, which normally catalyzes the reaction 3-beta-hydroxy-4-beta-methyl-5-alpha-cholest-7-ene-4-alpha-carboxylate + NAD+ = 4-alpha-methyl-5-alpha-cholest-7-en-3-one + CO2 + NADH, causes accumulation of 8(9)cholestenol and 8-dehydrocholesterol in plasma. Symptoms of CHILD syndrome include hearing defects, hemidysplasia, unilateral hypomelia, ichthyosiform nevi, limb abnormalities, lung hypoplasia, and punctate calcifications.
