Butyrylcholine iodide

Description:

Butyrylcholine iodide is a quaternary ammonium compound that serves as a synthetic analog of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is characterized by its positive charge due to the quaternary nitrogen atom, which enhances its solubility in water and biological fluids. This compound is often used in pharmacological research to study cholinergic signaling and the effects of acetylcholine on various physiological processes. Butyrylcholine iodide acts as a substrate for cholinesterases, enzymes that hydrolyze acetylcholine, and can be utilized to investigate enzyme kinetics and inhibition. Its iodide counterion contributes to its stability and solubility. In laboratory settings, it is typically handled with care due to its potential biological activity and effects on the nervous system. Overall, butyrylcholine iodide is a valuable tool in neuropharmacology and biochemistry, providing insights into cholinergic mechanisms and the role of acetylcholine in neurotransmission.

Butyrylcholine iodide

CAS: 2494-56-6

Butyrylcholine iodide (BChI) is a pharmacological agent that inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and has inhibitory properties. It can be used as a fluorescent probe to detect esterase activity in biological samples. BChI binds to acetylcholine and blocks the action of cholinergic neurotransmitters, which are responsible for muscle contraction, transmission of nerve impulses, and other important functions in the brain. The target enzymes for BChI are esterases, which are involved in signal peptide hydrolysis, transfer reactions involving choline and phosphatidylcholine, and chlorogenic acids.
