- Irreversible inhibitors |
Reversible inhibitors are used therapeutically....
Organophosphates are irreversible inhibitors used as nerve gases and insecticides |
None

Synthesis of Acetylcholine
-Enzyme -Rate limiting factor -Reuptake -Inhibitor of reuptake -Vesicular transport -Inhibitor of vesicular transport |
-Choline AcetylTransferase acetylates choline with acetylCoA
-exogenous supply of choline -High affinity choline transporter reuptakes choline from degraded synaptic Ach -Hemicholinium inhibits HACT leading to depletion of ACh stores -VAChT transports ACh into vesicles and is inhibited by Vesamicol |
None

Botulinium toxin
|
-Activated intracellulary, cleaves SNARE proteins and prevents Ach release

1. Structure 2. Subtype distribution on muscle 3. Subtype distribution on neurons |
1. Pentameric ligand gated cation channels that mediate fast muscle contraction
2.Skeletal muscle expresses alpha, beta, delta and either epsilon (postnatal) or gamma (embryonic 3.Neurons express combinations of other alpha and beta subtypes but not delta or gamma |
