The ability of four newly developed reversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (PC-37, PC-48, JaKo 39, JaKo 40) and currently available carbamate pyridostigmine to increase the resistance of mice against soman and the efficacy of antidotal treatment of soman-poisoned mice was evaluated and compared. No reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase studied was able to decrease the LD50 value of soman in mice. Thus, the pharmacological pre-treatment with pyridostigmine or newly synthesized inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase was not able to significantly protect mice against soman-induced lethal acute toxicity. In addition, neither pyridostigmine nor new reversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase was able to increase the efficacy of antidotal treatment (the oxime HI-6 in combination with atropine) of soman-poisoned mice. These findings demonstrate that pharmacological pre-treatment of soman-poisoned mice with tested reversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase is not promising.

The abnormal expression of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is linked to the development of various diseases. Accurate determination of AChE activity as well as screening AChE inhibitors (AChEIs) holds paramount importance for early diagnosis and treatment of AChE-related diseases. Herein, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual-channel probe based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NSs) was developed.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is primarily caused by oxidative stress, hyperphosphorylated τ-protein aggregation, and amyloid-β deposition. Changes in dopaminergic and serotoninergic neurotransmitter pathways are linked to certain symptoms of AD. Derivatives of bicyclic and tricyclic cyclohepta[b]thiophene were developed to identify new potential candidates as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors for the treatment of AD.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurological illness that affects over 80% of aged adults globally in cases of dementia. Although the exact pathophysiological causes of AD remain unclear, its pathogenesis is primarily driven by several distinct biochemical alterations: (i) the accumulation of toxic Aβ plaques, (ii) the hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins, (iii) oxidative stress resulting in cell death, and (iv) an imbalance between the two main neurotransmitters, glutamate and acetylcholine (ACh). Currently, there are very few medications available and no treatment.

Bacillus cereus sphingomyelinase C (B. cereus SMase), which plays a crucial role in bacterial virulence, has emerged as a new therapeutic target for treating opportunistic infections caused by this pathogen. It also shares catalytic domain similarity with human neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2), which is implicated in Alzheimer's disease.
