A cholinesterase was purified 36-fold from mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) roots by a combination of differential extraction media and gel filtration. The enzyme could be effectively extracted only by high salt concentration, indicating that it is probably membrane-bound. Methods used for assaying animal cholinesterases were tested, two of which were adapted for use with the bean cholinesterase. T...

Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) has been shown to be a remarkably potent inhibitor of the enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholine (1). As a result of a wide survey (2), inhibition by dialkyl fluorophosphates appears to be specific for certain esterases and lipases (kidney acid phosphatase was found to be inhibited by relatively high concentrations). Since the cholinesterase of mammalian brain a...

In this work, deep eutectic solvents (DES-based menthol and cholinium chloride) the ethanol, temperature, times were selected to extract bioactive compounds from rhizome, leaves, flowers Curcuma longa L., using ultrasound-assisted extraction. Analyzes antioxidant, flavonoids, antimicrobial, chelation Fe2+, inhibition of cholinesterase's enzymes, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity in Allium cepa cells p...

We report a two-day-old infant who had a period of apnoea lasting six hours following the intravenous administration of succinylcholine (Sch). The results of her plasma cholinesterase level and dibucaine number indicate a congenital absence of plasma cholinesterase (PChE) enzyme, although both parents and siblings had normal cholinesterase levels and dibucaine numbers. This is believed to be th...

diazinon is one of the highly consumed organophosphorous pesticides. it inhibits cholinesterase enzyme in animal tissues. due to permanent residence in agricultural drainage channels, the swan mussel (anodonta cygnea) can be considered as one of the most suitable indicators of such pollutants. at the present study, acethyle cholinesterase activity of a. cygnea was measured when exposed to vario...

Cholinesterase inhibitors are the class of compounds which inhibit cholinesterase enzyme. These are used as drugs for symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The present study, evaluate anti-cholinesterase property of an aqueous extract of Mentha longifolia leaves, which is an aromatic plant traditionally used for several medicinal properties. Ellman’s method was used to determine th...

A histochemical staining technique for cholinesterase is reported for the study of corneal nerves in whole-thickness rabbit cornea. The technique is relatively simple, yields reproducible results, allows good definition of the nerve fiber pattern, and provides the investigator, using a binocular microscope, with the advantage of three-dimensional study. When tissue is stained for specific choli...

Substance concentrations of plasma cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8) were measured in 94 healthy individuals without occupational exposure to known inhibitors (six samples from each individual). Immunoreactive cholinesterase substance concentrations showed an inter-individual variation corresponding to CVtotal = 22% (mean: 5.01 mg/l, SD: 1.11 mg/l). Intra-individual variations of immunoreactive choli...
