Thiamine, thiaminepyrophosphate and 4-methyl-5-beta-oxyethylthiazole are studied for their effect on the acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain, blood plasma and cells. The activity of acetylcholinesterase in blood cells is shown to be inhibited most of all by thiamine and thiazole. Acetylcholinesterase
