Discovery of a butyrylcholinesterase-specific probe via a structure-based design strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report herein the structure-based design and application of a fluorogenic butyrylcholinesterase probe that could discriminate butyrylcholinesterase from acetylcholinesterase.

Amaryllidaceae Alkaloids of Belladine-Type from Narcissus pseudonarcissus cv. Carlton as New Selective Inhibitors of Butyrylcholinesterase

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Thirteen known (1–12 and 16) and three previously undescribed Amaryllidaceae alkaloids of belladine structural type, named carltonine A-C (13–15), were isolated from bulbs of Narcissus pseudonarcissus cv.

Covalent fluorescent probes for 2‐arachidonoylglycerol metabolic pathways

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent fluorescent probes have emerged as versatile chemical tools to visualise active enzymes in complex biological systems. When tailored for specific applications, ranging from activity‐based protein profiling for drug development to high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of enzymatic activities, these probes provide unique insights into ...

Evolution of Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase in the Vertebrates: An Atypical Butyrylcholinesterase from the Medaka Oryzias latipes

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are thought to be the result of a gene duplication event early in vertebrate evolution. To learn more about the evolution of these enzymes, we expressed in vitro, characterized, and modeled a recombinant cholinesterase (ChE) from a teleost, the medaka Oryzias latipes.

Targeting acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase in dementia [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, 2005
The cholinesterase inhibitors (ChE-Is) attenuate the cholinergic deficit underlying the cognitive and neuropsychiatric dysfunctions in patients with AD. Inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been the major therapeutic target of ChE-I treatment strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Relationship between serum butyrylcholinesterase activity, hypertriglyceridaemia and insulin sensitivity in diabetes mellitus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The activity of serum butyrylcholinesterase ('pseudocholinesterase', EC3.1.1.8) was investigated in 56 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, 51 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 101 healthy control subjects.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Cholinesterase Inhibitors for Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder mostly influencing the elderly, and causes death due to dementia. The main pathogenic feature connected with the progression of this multifactorial disease is the weakening of the cholinergic

Pd‐Catalyzed Direct Access to 2‐Substituted (Aza)benzo[b]furans via Cascade Reactions Under “On‐Water” Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 15, 1 August 2026.
An “on‐water” scalable Pd‐catalyzed heteroannulation delivers benzofurans and furopyridines at ultralow catalyst loadings (down to 0.005 mol%), providing products essentially free of palladium residues. In addition to a broad substrate scope (aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl alkynes with o‐iodophenols or 2‐iodo‐3‐hydroxypyridines), this protocol enables a new ...

Molecular forms of butyrylcholinesterase and obesity [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
This study compared obese (N = 134) and unobese (N = 92) male blood donors, regarding the relative intensity (RI) and activity of different molecular forms (G1, G2, G4 and G1-ALB) of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, EC 3.1.1.8) found in plasma, thereby searching for an association between these variables with obesity and SNPs of exons 1 and 4 of the BCHE ...

Correlation of butyrylcholinesterase activity within young patients and remaining age strata. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Continuous data are presented as median (interquartile range) and their association with butyrylcholinesterase was assessed using Spearman–Rho correlation coefficient.
