The inhibition of serum cholinesterase by alkyl fluorophosphonates.
During the war, a team of workers under Drs Saunders and McCombie prepared a series of fluorophosphonate esters and related compounds (McCombie & Saunders, 1946). Some of them were found to be highly toxic to animals by inhalation and very rapid in action, and to have a powerful myotic action when present in sub-lethal concentrations. In man, exposure to amounts of vapour insufficient to give a...
متن کاملCholinesterase inhibiting withanolides from Withania somnifera.
A total of two new (1, 2) and four known (3-6) withanolides were isolated from the whole plant of Withania somnifera. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic techniques and were characterized as 6alpha,7alpha-epoxy-3beta,5alpha,20beta-trihydroxy-1-oxowitha-24-enolide (1), 5beta,6beta-epoxy-4beta,17alpha,27-trihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2,24-dienolide (2), withaferin-A (3), 2,3-di...
متن کاملSerum cholinesterase: effect on the action of suxamethonium following administration to a patient with cholinesterase deficiency.
Purified serum cholinesterase 90 mg was administered to a patient with cholinesterase deficiency. The effect on the action of suxamethonium was studied. The half-life (44.7 h), time constant (64.5 h), rate constant (0.0155 h-1) and distribution volume (2740 ml) of the cholinesterase activity were determined.
متن کاملEffect of the cholinesterase-inhibiting substance galanthamine on evoked visual potentials in rats.
We studied the effect of intravenous injection of the cholinesterase inhibitor galanthamine (GAL) in doses from 0.025 to 5.0 mg/kg on electrically evoked field potentials in rat visual cortex. In all the experiments the amplitude of late components of evoked potentials was significantly reduced, while early components remained unaffected. These findings indicate that cortical cells are inhibite...
متن کاملStudies on Cholinesterase Iv. on the Mechanism of Diisopropyl Fluorophosphate Action in Vivo*
There is growing evidence for the assumption that the profound biological effects produced by some compounds in low concentrations may be attributed to an interaction with enzymes. This is true for certain cell constituents as well as for toxic compounds not existing normally in the body. Several vitamins have been found to be prosthetic groups of enzymes and for a number of drugs it could be d...
