PHM142 Fall 2013 Instructor: Dr. Jeffrey Henderson Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors By: RohiniBagchi, Janice Chan, John Chen, Melissa Taylor Date: December 4, 2013
Overview • Background • Effects of AchE Inhibitors • “Good” AChE Inhibitors • “Bad” AChE Inhibitors
Background • Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter with an important role in all divisions of the nervous system • 2 receptor types: nicotinic, muscarinic • Broken down in the synaptic cleft by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) • When AChE is inhibited, ACh remains intact in the synaptic cleft; thus its effects are enhanced

Effects of AchE Inhibitors Some of the major effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are: • Nausea • Vomiting • Diarrhea • Bronchoconstriction • Bradycardia • Gut hyposecretion • GI tract hypermotility • Muscle fasciculation and cramps • Decreased intraocular pressure • Loss of appetite and weight loss

Good AChE Inhibitors • Alzheimers – Dementia -Donepezil** -Rivastigmine -Galantamine**
Galantamine • Trade name: Razadyne • CompetitiveReversibleAChE inhibitor • Treatment of mild to moderate dementia • Nicotinic receptor agonist • Complete absorption (F=80-100%) • Long-term tolerability
Donepezil Hydrochloride • Trade name: Aricept • ReversibleAChE Inhibitor • Treatment of mild to moderate dementia • Selective for AChEvsBChE (found outside CNS) • Complete absorption (F=100%) • Long halflife (70 hrs)
Organophosphates • Esters/ thiolsderived from phosphoric, phosphonic, phosphinic or phosphoramidic acid • Usually irreversibly inactivates acetylcholinesterase disabled neurotransmission • General structure: Reference: Gahlaut, A., Gothwal, A., Chhillar, A., Hooda, V. “Electrochemical Biosensors for Determination of Organophosphorus Compounds: Review”. Open Journal of Applied Biosensor. 1 (2012): 1-8. doi: 10.4236/ojab.2012.11001.
Organophosphate Examples -1 • Nerve Agents: Tabun, Soman, VX agent • SARIN • Phosphofluoridate • Colourless, odourless, classified as weapon of mass destruction (UN Resolution 687) • Can be ingested, inhaled + absorbed through skin • Recent Uses: Tokyo Subway Attack (1995), Syrian Civil War (2013)

Ref: Gahlaut, A., Gothwal, A., Chhillar, A., Hooda, V. “Electrochemical Biosensors for Determination of Organophosphorus Compounds: Review”. Open Journal of Applied Biosensor. 1 (2012): 1-8. doi: 10.4236/ojab.2012.11001 Organophosphate Examples - 2 • Insecticides: • Parathion, Malathion • Risks: occupational exposure, leak into water supplies, non-target organism harm, human exposure from food • Causes impaired memory, headaches, insomnia, speech problems, influenza-like symptoms, neurotoxicity, etc.
Carbamate Insecticides • Similar mechanism to organophosphates except reversible inhibitors of AchE • Spontaneous recovery within 4 hours for humans and mammals (pulse rate change, sweating, abdominal pain, headache, breathing issues, etc.) • Used in resistant insects, broad spectrum of pest control • Examples: Bendiocarb, Carbaryl, Methomyl Ref.: Fukuto, T. “Mechanism of Action of Organophosphorous and Carbamate Insecticides”. Environmental Health Perspectives. 87 (1990): 245-254.
Summary Slide • Ach is a neurotransmitter • Broken down by AchE in the synpatic cleft • It is the primary NT at the neuromuscular junction and the autonomic nervous system • Side effects of AchE inhibitors arise from increased activation of Ach receptors • Muscarinic receptors: bronchoconstriction, bradycardia • Nicotinic receptors: muscle fasciculation and cramps • Increased levels of Ach caused hypersecretion of HCl in the stomach • Donepezil, Galantamine are better than Rivastigmine • Galantamine: competitive and reversible inhibitor, nicotinic receptor agonist • Donepezil: reversible inhibitor, highly selective for AchE • Organophosphates irreversibly bind to acetylcholinesterase and inactivate it (nerve gases and pesticides) • Sarin: phosphorylates serine active site on enzyme, loss of muscle control used in breathing leading to death by asphyxia • Symptoms: salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, GT issues • Carbamates reversibly bind to acetylcholinesterase, and spontaneous recovery in humans occur within 4 hours, usually used as insecticies
