Electrochemical Biosensors based on Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase. A Review

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2016
Two cholinesterases are known: acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). The both enzymes are presented in the body under physiological conditions and the both enzymes have broad use in pharmacology, toxicology and analyses.

Pursuing the Complexity of Alzheimer’s Disease: Discovery of Fluoren-9-Amines as Selective Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors and N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Antagonists

Biomolecules, 2020
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex disorder with unknown etiology. Currently, only symptomatic therapy of AD is available, comprising cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists. Drugs targeting only one pathological

Investigation of the Protective Effect of Morin on Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Malathion‐Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malathion (MAL) is a widely used organophosphate pesticide associated with hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress and apoptosis. Morin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, exhibits potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. This study investigated oxidative stress, inflammatory, and apoptotic alterations induced by acute and subacute ...

Design, Synthesis and Molecular Docking Studies of Some Novel Hydrazone Derivatives Based on Trimetazidine as Selective and Potent AChE Inhibitors

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 7, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and cholinergic dysfunction is considered one of the fundamental pathological factors of this disease. Guided by the clinically used acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor donepezil, we explored trimetazidine dihydrochloride as an accessible starting scaffold to generate ...

Bio‐guided fractionation of (9Z )‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid from Abelmoschus sagittifolius root as a potent α‐glucosidase inhibitor: An integrated in vitro and in silico study

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 7735-7746, October 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Abelmoschus sagittifolius stands out as a valuable medicinal source for developing functional food targeting type 2 diabetes. This study investigated the α‐glucosidase inhibitory potential of an active fraction obtained from A. sagittifolius roots (ASR), enriched in (9Z)‐5,8,11‐trihydroxyoctadec‐9‐enoic acid (OA), using both enzyme ...
