Elevated levels of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) have the potential to be predictive in the timely detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). By inhibiting of BuChE activity can raise acetylcholine levels and intervene AD processes. Therefore, BuChE as an important factor in treatment AD has been given more and more attention in clinical studies.

Doxorubicin (Dox) is frequently employed as a chemotherapy agent for breast cancer. As the chemotherapy moves forward, breast cancer cells tend to develop resistance to Dox, besides that, Dox are also easy to cause cardiotoxicity related to cumulative dose. Therefore, how to potentiate the chemosensitivity of breast cancer cells to Dox while attenuating its cardiotoxicity has become a research hotspot.
