Choline Esters:-
Acetylcholine (ACh)
Structure
Synthesis:
Choline is transported from the extracellular fluid into the
cholinergic neuron by active transport (energy- dependent carrier)
system (Choline has a quaternary nitrogen and carries +ve charge
and, cannot diffuse through the membrane).
Synthesis, - This synthesis can be inhibited by the drug Hemicholinium.
Choline acetyltransferase enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of
acetylcholine from choline and acetyl-CoA.
Storage
Storage:
- ACh is stored into presynaptic vesicles to prevent inactivation by
and Release active transport.
- The mature vesicle contains not only ACh but also Co-
transmitters.
-This Uptake (storage) can inhibited by Vesamicol.
Release:
-when an action potential arrives at a nerve ending
Open voltage-sensitive calcium channels on the presynaptic
membrane increase conc. Of intracellular
Ca2+promote the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the cell
membrane and release of their contents into the synaptic space by
exocytosis
This release can be blocked by botulinum toxin.
- Cholinesterase enzyme breakdown ACh into Acetic acid +
Choline.
Inactivation - Types of Cholinesterase enzyme:
1: True (Acetyl) cholinesterase (ACHE) found in all ACh sites.
2: Pseudo (Butyryle) cholinesterase (BCHE) found in liver &
plasma.
Bethanechol(Urotone®)
Information - Ester of B-methyl choline with carbamic acid.
- Totally resistant to two types of cholinesterase enzyme.
- Selective to muscarinic receptor.
Pilocarpine (Isopto®Carpine)
Information - Alkaloid of plant origin (Pilocarpus leaflet).
-Tertiary amine alkaloid Not carry charge non-polar
lipid soluble pass BBB CNS side effect.
- Stable to hydrolysis by cholinesterase enzyme.
-It shows muscarinic effect without having significant
nicotinic effect.
