Cholinesterase Activity in Quails of Neuropathy Caused by Organophosphates.

Protection of cholinesterase by ethanol against inhibition by organophosphates in vitro.

Because many of the organophosphates used as anticholinesterases are insoluble in water, it is usual to dissolve them in water-miscible organic solvents in order to study their inhibition of the enzyme both in v&o and in vivo. Ethanol is commonly used for this purpose (1, 2), and, because it is an inhibitor of the enzyme, the control samples are treated with a similar level of the solvent. The ...

EVALUATION OF CEFTAZIDIME ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN INFECTIONS CAUSED BY BURNS

In vitro evaluation of ceftazidime antimicrobial activity in infections caused by burn and its comparison to the other antibiotics is presented. In vitro tests for susceptibility to ceftazidime and other antibiotics were carried out on 744 bacterial strains collected from burn infections. The results have shown that generally ceftazidime was more active against Pseudomollas aeruginosa an...

The spontaneous and induced recovery of fly-brain cholinesterase after inhibition by organophosphates.

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

In vitro cholinesterase inhibitory activity of Areca catechu L.

Background and objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized as the most prevalent age related neurodegenerative disease along with cognitive impairment in elderly people. Most of therapeutic treatments for AD have dedicated to the inhibition of cholinesterase (ChEs) to increase the level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the cholinergic synaptic cleft. Acetylcholinesterase (AC...
