Application

Selective inhibition of BChE activity can be used in the detection of organophosphates. Its use in the treatment of organophosphate toxicity has been explored. It has been reported that the level of BChE in human blood correlates to the degree of protection against potentially toxic nerve agents. Cholinesterases have also been investigated for their role in Alzheimer′s disease.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is a serine hydrolase that is structurally similar to acetylcholinesterase (AChE), but differs in substrate specificities and inhibitor sensitivities.BChE can, unlike AChE, efficiently hydrolyze larger esters of choline such as butyrylcholine and benzoylcholine. The enzyme is a tetrameric glycoprotein with four equal subunits (110 kDa each). The enzyme is activated by Ca2+ and Mg2+. The activity is constant over the pH range of 6.0-8.0. It is inhibited by betaine, nicotine, organophosphates, and carbamate.

Définition de l'unité

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of butyrylcholine to choline and butyrate per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C. The activity obtained using butyrylcholine as substrate is ~2.5 times that obtained using acetylcholine.

A group of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives (7a-e, 8a-e and 9a-d) that possess a variety of C-2 aliphatic five- and six-membered heterocycloalkyl ring in conjunction with a C-4 arylalkylamino substituent were designed, synthesized and evaluated as cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors. The steric

The present study describes the synthesis, pharmacological evaluation (BChE/AChE inhibition, Aβ antiaggregation, and neuroprotective effects), and molecular modeling studies of novel 2-[4-(4-substitutedpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]benzimidazole derivatives. The alkyl-substituted derivatives exhibited selective inhibition on BChE with varying efficiency. Compounds 3b and 3d were found
