General description
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), also known as RBC cholinesterase, is found primarily in the blood and neural synapses. AChE catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. Inhibition of the enzyme leads to acetylcholine accumulation, hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and disrupted neurotransmission. AChE inhibition is an important target for the management of Alzheimer′s disease and AChE inhibitors are the most common drugs used for its management. In addition to Alzheimer′s disease, AChE inhibitors have been useful in the diagnosis or treatment of diseases such as glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, bladder distention, and more. The Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Screening kit is based on an improved Ellman method, in which thiocholine produced by the action of acetylcholinesterase forms a yellow color with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The intensity of the product color, measured at 412 nm, is proportionate to the enzyme activity in the sample.
Application
- In vitro assessment of selected Korean plants for antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities.: This research evaluates the antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities of various Korean plants using in vitro screening, showcasing the screening kit′s application in natural product research (Lee et al., 2017).

A series of new analogs of nitrogen mustards (4a-4h) containing the 1,3,5-triazine ring substituted with dipeptide residue were synthesized and evaluated for the inhibition of both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and β-secretase (BACE1) enzymes. The AChE inhibitory activity studies were carried out
