Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) also often called cholinesterase inhibitors, inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase from breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetate, thereby increasing both the level and duration of action of acetylcholine in the central nervous system, autonomic ganglia and neuromuscular junctions, which are rich in acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are one of two types of cholinesterase inhibitors; the other being butyryl-cholinesterase inhibitors.
      Acetylcholinesterase is the primary member of the cholinesterase enzyme family.
      Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are classified as reversible, irreversible, or quasi-irreversible (also called pseudo-irreversible).


      Mechanism of action




      = Organophosphates

      =
      Organophosphates like tetraethyl pyrophosphate (TEPP) and sarin inhibit cholinesterases, enzymes that hydrolyze the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
      The active centre of cholinesterases feature two important sites, namely the anionic site and the esteratic site. After the binding of acetylcholine to the anionic site of the cholinesterase, the acetyl group of acetylcholine can bind to the esteratic site. Important amino acid residues in the esteratic site are a glutamate, a histidine, and a serine. These residues mediate the hydrolysis of the acetylcholine.

      At the esteratic site the acetylcholine is cleaved, which results in a free choline moiety and an acetylated cholinesterase. This acetylated state requires hydrolysis to regenerate itself.
      Inhibitors like TEPP modify the serine residue in the esteratic site of the cholinesterase.

      This phosphorylation inhibits the binding of the acetyl group of the acetylcholine to the esteratic site of the cholinesterase. Because the acetyl group can't bind the cholinesterase, the acetylcholine can't be cleaved. Therefore, the acetylcholine will remain intact and will accumulate in the synapses. This results in continuous activation of acetylcholine receptors, which leads to the acute symptoms of TEPP poisoning. The phosphorylation of cholinesterase by TEPP (or any other organophosphate) is irreversible. This makes the inhibition of the cholinesterase permanent.
      The cholinesterase gets irreversible phosphorylated according to the following reaction scheme

      EP
      +
      X



      {\displaystyle {\ce {E + PX <=> E-PX ->[k_3] EP + X}}}


      In this reaction scheme the E indicates the cholinesterase, PX the TEPP molecule, E–PX the reversible phosphorylated cholinesterase, k3 the reaction rate of the second step, EP the phosphorylated cholinesterase and X the leaving group of the TEPP.
      The irreversible phosphorylation of the cholinesterase occurs in two steps. In the first step the cholinesterase gets reversibly phosphorylated. This reaction is very fast. Then the second step takes place. The cholinesterase forms a very stable complex with TEPP, in which TEPP is covalently bound to the cholinesterase. This is a slow reaction. But after this step the cholinesterase is irreversibly inhibited.
      The time dependent irreversible inhibition of the cholinesterase can be described by the following equation.

      {\displaystyle \ln {\frac {E}{E_{0}}}={\frac {k_{3}t}{1+{\frac {K_{I}}{I}}}}}


      In this formula, E is the remaining enzyme activity, E0 is the initial enzyme activity, t is the time interval after mixing of the cholinesterase and the TEPP, KI is the dissociation constant for cholinesterase-TEPP complex (E–PX) and I is the TEPP concentration.
      The reaction mechanism and the formula above are both also compatible for other organophosphates. The process occurs in the same way.
      Furthermore, certain organophosphates can cause OPIDN, organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy. This is a disease, which is characterized by degeneration of axons in the peripheral and central nervous system. This disease will show a few weeks after contamination with the organophosphate. It is believed that the neuropathy target esterase (NTE) is affected by the organophosphate which induces the disease. However, there are no references found, which indicate that TEPP is one of the organophosphates that can cause OPIDN.


      Uses


      Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors:

      Occur naturally as venoms and poisons (e.g., onchidal)
      Are used as weapons (nerve agents)
      Are used medicinally:
      To treat myasthenia gravis, where they are used to increase neuromuscular transmission.
      To treat glaucoma
      To treat postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
      As an antidote to anticholinergic poisoning
      To reverse the effect of non-depolarising muscle relaxants
      To treat neuropsychiatric symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, particularly apathy
      To increase chances of lucid dreaming (by prolonging REM sleep)
      To treat Alzheimer's disease, the Lewy body dementias and Parkinson's disease. In these neurodegenerative conditions AChEIs are primarily used to treat the cognitive (memory and learning deficits mostly) symptoms of dementia. These symptoms are attenuated due to the role of acetylcholine in cognition in the CNS. There is some evidence to suggest that AChEIs may attenuate psychotic symptoms (especially visual hallucinations) in Parkinson's disease.
      To treat cognitive impairments in patients with schizophrenia. There is some evidence to suggest efficacy in treating positive, negative and affective symptoms.
      As a treatment for autism and to increase the percentage of rapid eye movement sleep in autistic children, in line with the mechanism by which they encourage lucid dreaming.
      Are used as insecticides. There are two large classes: organophosphates (e.g., malathion) and carbamates:
      Resistance is widespread due to various mechanisms, including increased metabolism, gene amplification and target site mutations.


      Guideline recommendations


      The clinical guidelines for medication management in people with dementia recommend trialing an AChE inhibitor for people with early- to mid-stage dementia. These guidelines, known as the Medication Appropriateness Tool for Comorbid Health conditions in Dementia (MATCH-D), suggest that these medicines are at least considered.


      Side effects



      Some major effects of cholinesterase inhibitors:

      Actions on the parasympathetic nervous system, (the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system) may cause bradycardia, hypotension, hypersecretion, bronchoconstriction, GI tract hypermotility, and decrease intraocular pressure, increase lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone
      Cholinergic crisis.
      Actions on the neuromuscular junction may result in prolonged muscle contraction.
      The effects of neostigmine on postoperative nausea and vomiting are controversial and there is not a clear linkage in clinical practice, however, there is good evidence to support the reduction in risk when anticholinergic agents are administered.
      Administration of reversible cholinesterase inhibitors is contraindicated with those that have urinary retention due to urethral obstruction.


      = Overdose

      =
      Hyperstimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic receptors.


      Titration phase


      When used in the central nervous system to alleviate neurological symptoms, such as rivastigmine in Alzheimer's disease, all cholinesterase inhibitors require doses to be increased gradually over several weeks, and this is usually referred to as the titration phase. Many other types of drug treatments may require a titration or stepping up phase. This strategy is used to build tolerance to adverse events or to reach a desired clinical effect. This also prevents accidental overdose and is therefore recommended when initiating treatment with drugs that are extremely potent and/or toxic (drugs with a low therapeutic index).
