Description

Scopine is a drug that inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. It is used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Scopine hydrolyzes acetylcholinesterase, leading to an increase in the level of acetylcholine in the brain. The minimal toxicity of scopine is due to its lack of reactivity with other compounds, as well as its lack of effect on muscle control. Scopine also has a high affinity for monoclonal antibodies and can be used to purify these antibodies from solutions. Scopine binds to the active site of acetylcholinesterase, where it forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with one of its methoxy groups, which stabilizes the molecule at this site and prevents it from binding other molecules.
