However, it's pretty dangerous and, what's more, painful in overdose.

Is there a sentence which includes the word acetylcholinesterase if so what is it?
"Acetylcholinesterase" production results in the production of a glucosteroid inhibitor.
What is a Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, of course! These include ambinonium (Mytelase), physostigmine, neostigmine (Prostigmin, Vagostigmin), galantamine (Razadyne, Reminyl, Nivalin), pyridostigmine, Tacrin (Cognex), donepezil (Aricept), edrophonium (Tensilon, Enlon, Reversol) and rivastigmine (Exelon), and others.
Can you identify of what kind of drug is physostigmine?
Physostigmine is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase which breaks down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft of the neuromuscular junction. It is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's and memory loss.
Mechanism of action of neostigmine?
There are 3 different types of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors - short-acting, medium-duration and irreversible inhibitors, which differ in their interactions with the active site of acetylcholinesterase.=Neostigmine is a medium-duration acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that enhances cholinergic transmission in the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system and at neuromuscular junctions. Acetlycholinesterase inhibitors are an established therapy for Alzheimer's disease and dementia .=
What is the mechanism of AchE inhibitor side effects of weakness?
When an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor binds with acetylcholinesterase, regardless of whether it is reversible or irreversible, it prevents the ability of AChE to bind with acetylcholine (ACh) and break it down. Therefore, ACh accumulates in the synaptic gap, causing the postsynaptic neuron or muscle cell to fire/contract repeatedly. As this happens, a fatigue effect is reached due to depletion of chemical energy stores (ATP, etc.), and weakness results from the reduced ability of neurons/muscles to respond to further stimulation.
What destroys ACh?
Acetylcholinesterase
How does wasp spray kill wasp?
Pyrethrins affect the nervous system of insects by causing multiple action potentials in the nerve cells by delaying the closing of an ion channel. Or a fancy way of saying seizure. Pyrethrins and pyrethroids act as contact poisons, affecting the insect's nervous system. Which is why they are so fast acting.
What is an example of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: Reversible:1.Physostigmine -Miotic, cycloplegic and reduces IOT 0.25-0.5 % drops -Atropine, and antidepressant poisoning with predominant CNS manifestations (crosses BBB) 2.Neostigmine-Doesnt cross BBB, hence good for d.tubocurare muscle blockade -Myasthenia -Post op ileus -Decurarisation 3.Pyridostigmine-Similar but less potent and long acting than neostigmine. Better tolerated in myasthenic patients 4.Edrophonium -Dx of myasthenia -Cobra bites 5.Rivastigmine -Alzhiemers(?) Irreversible: -Mostly pesticides DFP,Malathoin,Parathoin,Sarin, Soman (Nerve gas) -Metrifonate(Antihelminthic drug)
What agent inhibits Acetylcholinesterase?
neostigmine
What breaks down acetylcholine?
Acetylcholinesterase
How is acetylcholine (ACh) removed from the synaptic cleft?
Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase
What is the medical abbreviation meaning Acetylcholinesterase?
ACHe
