Karadsheh N, Kussie P, Linthicum DS: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by caffeine, anabasine, methyl pyrrolidine and their derivatives. Toxicol Lett. 1991 Mar;55(3):335-42.
The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by caffeine, anabasine, methylpyrrolidine and several derivatives was examined. Most of the compounds had moderate inhibitory activity with I50 values in the range of 87-480 microM. The inhibition of AChE by these compounds has not been previously reported. A structural feature common to these compounds is the N-methyl determinant of the pyrrolidine ring which may be important in binding to the AChE. |
