Inhibition and inactivation of presynaptic cholinergic markers using redox-reactive choline analogs

Abstract: Inhibition and inactivation of two presynaptic cholinergic "markers", choline acetyltransferase and high affinity choline transporter, has been investigated using inhibitors designed with a redox-reactive catechol tethered to a quaternary ammonium group. Two quaternary ammonium alkyl-substituted catechols, 3[(trimethylammonio)methyl]catechol (TMC, 1) and N,N-dimethylepinephrine (catecholine, 2) were shown to bind weakly and noncompetitively to bovine choline acetyltransferase yet inactivated the enzyme in a ti… Show more

“…Concentration-dependent inhibition of Ch transport by 6 and 7 was established from their dose-response curves. Plots of the initial rate of Ch uptake versus log [6] and log [7] are shown in Figure 2. Table 1 IC 50 values for 6 and 7 were determined to be 76 and 21 μM, respectively.…”

“…These molecules are choline homologs, which have an affinity for cholinergic sites and a redox-active catechol portion that may inactivate the cholinergic binding sites. This view is also supported by animal behavioral studies that indicate neurotoxic effects occur with these reagents [24]. Measurement of the specific concentration ranges of the chemical agents that induce neuronal degradation and analysis of the site-specific chemical events that are triggered will define the potency and selectivity of the chemical agents toward the cholinergic pathway.…”

“…Previous research in the catechols analogues reported that the diphenol such as compound 2 with a 3,4-dihydroxy substitution in the benzene ring is more sensitive to the oxidation than a 2,3-dihydroxy substitution such as in compound 3. [13] The unstable property of compound 2 might induces more side reactions and decreases its cross-linking capacity.…”
