AChE inhibitors

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been one of the important and potential targets in the discovery, and development of new drugs for treating and slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This research suggests potential structural frameworks for synthesizing AChE inhibitor derivatives for treating AD.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a key therapeutic target for developing new Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatments due to its regulatory function in acetylcholine hydrolysis. This research contributed to the development of a novel scaffold for AChE inhibitors, which are potential drugs for treating AD.

The expression of the choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) enzyme that synthesizes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) is upregulated by ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). We studied the involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in regulating ChAT expression in a murine septal cell line. Surprisingly, we found that PD98059 and U0126, two structurally distinct inhibitors of MAPK kinase (MEK1), increased both basal and CNTF-induced ACh production.

E2020 (R,S)-1-benzyl-4-[(5,6-dimethoxy-1-indanon)-2-yl]-methyl)piperidine hydrochloride isa piperidine-based ace-tylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in the United States. Structure-activity studiesof thisclassof inhibitorshave indicated that both the benzoyl containing functionality and the N-benzylpiperidine moiety are the key featuresfor binding and inhibition of AChE.

Our recent studies have shown that, as indicated by vagal stimulation, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil, an anti-Alzheimer’s disease drug, prevents progression of heart failure in rats with myocardial infarction, and activates a common cell survival signal shared by acetylcholine (ACh) in vitro.
