Benzoylcholine, Indole-3-acetic And Human Serum Butyrylcholinesterase Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesTürk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006
In this study we studied the kinetic interaction of indole-3- acetic acid with human serum butyrylcholinesterase. Butyrylcholinesterase was purified from human serum and the benzoylcholine kinetics was analyzed.

Pseudo-irreversible butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors: structure–activity relationships, and kinetic, computational, and crystallographic study of the N-dialkyl O-arylcarbamate warhead [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Alongside reversible butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors, a plethora of covalent butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors have been reported in the literature, typically pseudo-irreversible carbamates. For these latter, however, most cases lack full confirmation of

Wide awake under anesthesia: Scoline apnoea update [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Journal of Anesthesia and Intensive Therapy, 2016
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) catalyses the hydrolysis of choline esters and thus deactivates muscle relaxants such as succinylcholine and mivacurium. The prolonged neuromuscular blockade following the use of succinylcholine, called scoline apnea, occurs ...

Serum cholinesterases are differentially regulated in normal and dystrophin-deficient mutant mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012
The cholinesterases, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase (pseudocholinesterase), are abundant in the nervous system and in other tissues. The role of acetylcholinesterase in terminating transmitter action in the peripheral and central nervous ...
