insecticides
2 mechanisms of AchE hydrolysis
involvement of both
acid catalyzed hydrolysis
base catalyzed hydrolysis

BOTH are involved physiologically
3 steps to acid catalyzed hydrolysis
1) protonation of carbonyl on Ach producing alcohol structure intermediate
2) H2O coordinates with positive charge- addition to structure
3) collapse of molecule and cleavage that leaves you with acetate and alcohol
3 steps to base catalyzed hydrolysis
1) hydroxide ion attaches to electrophile (carbonyl)
2) formation of tetrahedral intermediate
3) NO addition to water- it just collapses and ejects the choline and acetyl
3 important parts on AchE
serine residue of AchE- really critical
histamine- imidazole ring
anionic site- interacts with quat ammonium
MoA of AchE hydrolysis mechanism (4)
coordination of electrons from carbonyl oxygen with imidazole ring on His

then coordination with serine onto positively charged carbon of carbonyl group

histadine causes protonation of that oxygen

then you have collapse of the Ach molecule
anionic site of AchE- what does it consist of? how is N interacting with it?
does not actually consist of anionic AA sticking there
may be cationic pi interaction?? meaning positive charge of N interacts with a pi electron system (aromatic)

so it's probably tryptophan or phenylalanine
3 steps of AchE hydrolysis (related to the actual enzyme)
AchE-Ser-OH + Ach = formation of unstable, tetrahedral transition state due to nuc attack of serine OH on carbonyl** critical

collapses- then you get loss of quat amine part (splits off the ester)**

AchE is still inactive and attached to the acetyl part of Ach, so need H2O to cleave it off and regen enzyme
AchE inhibitors- targets what step in hydrolysis?
makes the form of AchE connected to Ach part more stable- so can't regen the enzyme
complex reversible inhibitors of AchE MoA (3)
compounds are substrates of AchE

however they form a more stable complex (acylated on serine)

causes the enzyme to regen more slowly
2 types of reversible AchE antagonists
bind and block antagonists- do not acylate AchE

acylating AchE inhibitors (slow regen)
physostigmine type of inhibitor
reversible AchE inhibitor
physostigmine MoA
binds to AchE- but after collapse of Ach, you get AchE bound to carbamic acid group which causes it to hydrolyze more slowly (more stable)
timing difference of acetylated AchE and carbamic acid AchE
normally takes 22 ms

when it's transesterified- takes 15 minutes
aryl carbamate AchE inhibitors properties (3)
superior AchE inhibitor
high affinity for AChE
very efficient at modifying enzyme
properties of physostigmine (4)
affinity, etc. usage
high affinity
reversible
can cross BBB
used mostly in ER setting for pt who OD on anticholinergic drugs (or antidepressants/other drugs with Ach effects)
Ki (conc. that gives 50% inhibition) in aryl vs alkyl carbamates (like carbachol?)
aryl has much better inhibition (~nanomolar)
physostigmine MoA
inhibits AchE by acting as substrate and arbamylating the enzyme
neostigmine structure (2)
simplified aryl carbamate

charged - no BBB crossing
neostigmine usage (3)
used post op for urinary retention

for severe myasthenia gravis

reversal of surgical neuromuscular blockade
pyridostigmine use (2)
preferred treatment for myasthenia gravis
ppx in military against soman? nerve gas
pyridostigmine structure, BA, duration of action
charged (no CNS activity)

orally bioavailable

longer duration of action than neostigmine
aryl carbamate AchE inhibitor suffix
-stigmines
carbaryl
insecticide
AD characterized by what 2 general things
AD is characterized by structural changes in nuronal tissue
functional disruptions in neurotransmission
3 disruptions of cholinergic transmission in brain
loss of ChAT (choline Acetyltransferase)
loss of NAch receptors
loss of choline transporters
4 Ache inhibitors FDA approved for Alzheimers
tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine
donepezil- what is it (type)?
toxicity
half life
non classical AChE (non competitive) inhibitor

low hepatotoxiity
longer half life than tacrine
rivastigmine- type of ..drug (mechanism wise) (2)
pseudo-irreversible AChE inhibitor

extends the regen time lag by 10 hours- so it's ALMOST irreversible
galantamine- what type of drug is it, where is it found?
NP alkaloid found in daffodils
galantamine- MoA (2)
dual mode:
reversible inhibitor of AChE

also binds to the N receptors allosterically (agonist)
irreversible inhibitors of AChE- what is their family called

how do they work?
phosphate esters- emerged as being very stable to hyrdolysis and leave enzyme esterified as phosphate ester
key difference between irreversible phosphate ester and reversible AChEI
aging
galantamine SAR (2)
crosses BBB
unique structure- has 7 membered ring
aging- what is it (3)
aging of the enzyme
major determinant of toxicity- means enzyme cannot regenerate
enzyme aging- MoA (2)
loses functional group (ROH) off serine residue
no good leaving group- enzyme is stuck that way because phosphate is stuck there FOREVER
echothiopate- route, used for what (2)
treatment for glaucoma- not commonly used

also for strabismus (uneven eye balance)

topical
irreversible AchE inhibitor example (drug) (2)
echothiopate
malathion
irreversible AChE inhibitor insecticide structural properties (2)
very lipophilic
high vapor pressure- almost want to go to gas phase
irreversible AChE inhibitor insecticides- why u no kill people too?
sulfur coordinate covalent bond gets metabolized to active oxo derivatives

this is why they kill insects but not people
malathion- onset, activation ,toxicity
kills lice/eggs in 3 seconds
bioactivation ONLY occurs with insect enzyme
so low toxicity in humans
idea behind the irreversible AChEI antidotes (2)
essentially, water usually acts as nucleophile to hydrolyze Ach off AchE

BUT with phosphates, the phosphate esters require a much stronger nuc than water
hydroxylamine (3)
strong nucleophile antidote- can cleave phosphate esters

can regen AChE

but it's toxic at conc needed to work
pralidoxime- what is it? toxicity? efficacy? (3)
derived from hydroxylamine- has oxime moiety that is less toxic
less toxic but still good nucleophile
ONLY antidote that is good
oxime- how is it made
SAR
know structure


reaction of hydroxylamine with aldehyde or ketone

has nucleophilic oxygen atom that works as antidote
pralidoxime - how does it act on AchEI complex
oxime attacks phosphorus and phosphate group falls off with pralidoxime
2-PAM (pralidoxime) administration and route (3)
window of therapy
administer within 36 hours of exposure, after that it is ineffective (aging)

injection- IV, IM, SQ
