Cholinesterase (ChE)
Cholinesterase (ChE) is a family of enzymes present in the central nervous system, particularly in nervous tissue, muscle and red cells, which catalyze the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. It is one of many important enzymes needed for the proper functioning of the nervous systems of humans.
There are two types: acetylcholinesterase (AChE, acetylcholine hydrolase) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, acylcholine acylhydrolase), also known as nonspecific cholinesterase or pseudocholinesterase. AChE is primarily found in the blood on red blood cell membranes, in neuromuscular junctions, and in neural synapses, while BChE is produced in the liver and found primarily in plasma. The difference between the two types of cholinesterase is their relative preferences for substrates: AChE hydrolyzes acetylcholine faster while BChE hydrolyzes butyrylcholine faster.

Ubretid
0 ImagesSynonyms: Distigmine dibromideUbretid is a potent inhibitor of plasma cholinesterase. Ubretid therefore delays the hydrolysis of suxamethonium and prolongs its action, similar to the effects shown by other anticholinesterase agents, such as pyridostigmine and donepezil. Ubretid has the potential for the research of urinary retention prolongs the effect of suxamethonium. Ubretid is commonly prescribed for the research of myasthenia gravis and for difficulty in emptying the bladder.

Ebelin lactone
0 ImagesEbelin lactone is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, with a Ki of 0.45 μM against human M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) and a Ki of 4.21 μM against human 5-HT2A serotonin receptor. Ebelin lactone binds to the allosteric cavity above the orthosteric site of M1 via nonpolar interactions with subtype-selective residues. Ebelin lactone binds to the cavity between transmembrane helices 4 and 5 of 5-HT2A through nonpolar interactions with orthosteric site residues. Ebelin lactone exhibits free radical scavenging activity, inhibits cancer cell proliferation, and regulates memory and cognitive processes by interacting with M1 and 5-HT2A receptors. Ebelin lactone can be used in studies related to Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

Asoxime-d4 dichloride
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-106901ASSynonyms: HI-6-d4Asoxime-d4 dichloride (HI-6-d4) is the deuterium labeled Asoxime dichloride. Asoxime dichloride is an orally active thiosemicarbazone-based antidote. Asoxime dichloride is a reversible inhibitor of AChE, and its core mechanism of action is to re-activate AChE inhibited by nerve toxins, thereby restoring the cholinergic nerve function. Asoxime dichloride significantly restores the function of poisoned muscles without reactivating AChE. Asoxime dichloride is an antagonist of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), including nicotinic receptor and α7 nAChR. Asoxime dichloride can serve as an effective immunomodulator, improving the immune effect of the nervous system.

Temephos
0 ImagesTemephos (Temefos) is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable organophosphate insecticide and AChE inhibitor. By irreversibly inhibiting AChE to induce cholinergic overactivation, Temephos effectively blocks larval development of Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito) and Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito), and is commonly used in studies related to Dengue Virus, Zika Virus and other relevant pathogens.
