For metacarb and isocarb, inhibition of BChE w.t. was 260 and 35 times, respectively, faster than inhibition of AChE w.t. For four mutants inhibition was faster than for AChE w.t. but none reached the inhibition rate of BChE. | Peripheral site and acyl pocket define selective inhibition of mouse butyrylcholinesterase by two biscarbamates.

The effects of porphyrinogenic drugs on the brain cholinergic system (Ache, Bche, and Chrm1 levels in various regions of the brain) were examined to establish a mechanism for neurological syndrome displayed in acute porphyrias. | The effects of some porphyrinogenic drugs on the brain cholinergic system.

The BChE knockout mouse will allow us to test the hypothesis that the function of BChE is to detoxify poisons and will allow testing the role of BChE in other physiological functions. | Production of the butyrylcholinesterase knockout mouse. Li B, Duysen EG, Saunders TL, Lockridge O. | 01/21/2010 |
A possible mechanism for partial compensation of tetanic fade in acetylcholinesterase knockout mice is hydrolysis of acetylcholine by normal levels of endogenous butyrylcholinesterase. | Reduced acetylcholine receptor density, morphological remodeling, and butyrylcholinesterase activity can sustain muscle function in acetylcholinesterase knockout mice.
