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.

Ganstigmine
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-183403CAS No.: 457075-21-7Synonyms: CHF 2819 free baseGanstigmine (CHF 2819 free base) is a potent, orally active, blood-brain barrier-permeable acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 65 nM against human AChE, 310 nM against human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and 5.12 μM against Torpedo californica AChE. Ganstigmine increases extracellular acetylcholine levels in the brain of rodents without altering the concentrations of other neurotransmitters, stimulates cholinergic transmission, and induces the release of soluble non-amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein. Ganstigmine exhibits neuroprotective activity independent of cholinesterase inhibition, prevents neuronal death, alleviates β-amyloid-induced neurodegeneration, rescues cholinergic neuron loss, and reverses Scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced amnesia and memory deficits. Ganstigmine shows cholinesterase inhibition-independent neuroprotective effects against growth factor deprivation and Aβ25-35 toxicity. Ganstigmine can be used in research on Alzheimer's disease, cholinergic dysfunction, and neuroprotection.
