Safety, pharmacokinetics and quantitative EEG modulation of TAK-071, a novel muscarinic M1 receptor positive allosteric modulator, in healthy subjects.

PK and safety profiles of TAK-071 were favorable, including those exceeding expected pharmacologically active doses based on preclinical data. When administered without donepezil TAK-071 was largely free of cholinergic adverse effects. Further clinical evaluation of TAK-071 is warranted.
