Product Information
5,6-Dimethoxyisobenzofuran-1,3-dione is a hydrolysis product of the organophosphates paraoxon and parathion. It is used as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in high-throughput screening for drug discovery. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by 5,6-dimethoxyisobenzofuran-1,3-dione leads to a build up of acetylcholine in the synapse and increased transmission of nerve impulses. This reaction can be monitored using a fluorometric assay with an electron transfer probe that detects fluorescence intensity. Fluorometric assays are also used to monitor the activity of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). These enzymes are found in blood plasma and have been used as biomarkers for exposure to organophosphates.5,6-
