General description

Rivastigmine tartrate is a cholinesterase inhibitor. It is also called as exelon.

Application

Rivastigmine tartrate has been used in cholinesterase inhibition assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rivastigmine is an orally available, brain penetrant, reversible cholinesterase inhibitor that enhances cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer′s and Parkinson′s diseases. Rivastigmine inhibits both butyrylcholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase.
Rivastigmine tartrate is used to treat Alzheimer′s disease. It helps to improve thinking ability. It helps to increase cholinergic function by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.

Because the cholinergic system is down-regulated in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients, cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease patients are significantly improved by rivastigmine treatment.

Acetylcholine Synthesis and Metabolism

Acetylcholine is synthesized from acetyl coenzyme A and choline by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase. In addition to its synthesis in the liver, choline employed in acetylcholine production is derived from dietary sources.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
