Description
Potent selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. -
Biological description
Potent selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 = 410 nM). Greater than 50-fold selective versus butyrylcholinesterase. Inhibits RBC cholinesterase activity 10-fold more potently than that of human brain tissue. Reduces apoptotic effect of thapsigargin in SH-SY5Y cells. Non-competitive nicotinic receptor aganist in rat PC12 cells. Neuroprotective following ischemia-reperfusion injury in animal models.

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Toxic, refer to SDS for further information.
