Product Information

• Name: Acetylthiocholine bromide
• Synonyms: (2-Mercaptoethyl)trimethylammonium bromide acetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Acetylthiocholine bromide is a lipase inhibitor that has been shown to be nontoxic in doses as high as 250 mg/kg. Acetylthiocholine bromide has an acetylcholinesterase-inhibiting effect, which makes it a potential drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. Acetylthiocholine bromide is also used in the detection of acetylcholine in biological samples, such as serum and urine. The surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) technique is used to detect the presence of acetylthiocholine bromide. This technique uses gold nanoparticles deposited on a substrate to increase the intensity of Raman scattering from molecules adsorbed on the surface. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by acetylthiocholine bromide leads to increased levels of acetylcholine and prevents its breakdown by cholinesterases. This leads
