Cholinesterase inhibitors

on 14.1.09 with 0 comments



  • ACTHase at synapses throughout the nervous system

  • Plasma cholinesterase in noneural sites like plasma

  • Two types reversible and irreversible

  • Reversible: Competitive inhibitor (edrophonium) binds to substrate binding domain

  • Irreversible: phosphorylate the serine in the substrate-binding domain of ACTHase; therefore called organophosphorous cholinesterase inhibitors
